you can have a midterm or exam, too! COMMON GROUND!!!

do you guys have dead week

what

it's the week before finals

no, we just call that........ the week before final exams

do you get it off from class???

You get a whole WEEK before?

At my college you got ~Reading Day~ and they were trying to get rid of it and just go straight from the last day of class to the first day of exams and everyone got real pissed

what is that

cam wants me to say it's also called "reading week" in the us, or "revision week" in ireland

OOOOH WE HAVE READING WEEK

ok we have reading week (SPRRRRANG BREEEEAAAAAA-AAAAAAAKKK ... in the dead of winter) but it's not EXPECTED that you put midterms right after it or anything

SPRING BREAK IS A DIFFERENT THING!!!!!

Edited (also i don't know if canada is as christian as the US But spring break usually coincides with easter for us) 2017-09-03 07:40 (UTC)

Notre Dame's coincides with St. Paddy's so there aren't a ton of drunk kids on campus 8)

when i visited meggie in the u.s. i was legitimately fucking weirded out by seeing crosses just... on display... in stores

that is not a thing here

Edited (which is to say it's somewhat secular here and also spring break honestly doesn't always coincide with easter) 2017-09-03 07:43 (UTC)

in ontario reading week coincides with family day, which is in the third week of february. barely anybody calls it "spring break" because you're still wearing your fucking parka.

over easter we just get a day off.

some schools have a reading week in the fall, too, but idk why. at my school UNDERGRADS get a week off in the fall but GRAD STUDENTS don't?!!?!?! it's UNJUST.

RELATED: Canadians: revising for exams, is it a thing

nah fam we study

you might revise material while you study, but you study

if you're an idiot like me you're probably gonna cram

cool cool ty -3-

no revising is chiefly british i think

I don't know what anything is anymore half the time hahaha

i thought jj posted this bc we were having the exact same convo irl

Does everyone get a week except my college??

i'm sorry, cheryl, but it seems that your school... was run by a bunch of dweebs.

So let me get this straight

At other universities, you finish your last day of class, then you get a WEEK off, then finals start?
