Lines:
Classes tend to start towards the middle-end of August/beginning of September, which means a lot of people who don't live near their uni's have to pack up and move, etc. And yes, some people do have class in the middle of August.
Slick:
Maybe it is because I am at a relatively young school and we do co-op work terms regularly, but we have three four month terms and things work nicely.
Like what are actual start dates for classes for an american college/university?
calenlass:
Mid August is most people's first day. Mine is the 17th, but there are some areas who don't go back to school until after Labor Day, which is the first Monday in September.
Most schools have three semesters: fall, spring, and summer. All of them used to be on the quarter system, which was fall, winter, spring, and summer, but for some reason people decided it was better to change to semesters.
Slick:
Weird. We have Sept-Dec, Jan-Apr, May-Aug. I think we have had this discussion before but a part of me refuses to believe it.
Ozymandias:
Also, just because I totally failed to give my own opinions having posted the topic, I'm very pro-Austin, then moderately pro-Cali, then cannot possibly afford to go to any other suggested location.
