"University Students..."

Just need a little info from anyone who has been studying at University over the past few years, or actually can give me an answer to my question.

Basicly i start my first year of University at the end of September, looking forward to it and all, and even though this sounds a little premature, does anyone have a rough idea of the amount of time you get off from Uni over the Christmas period?

To cut a long story short, ive been invited to spend christmas over in America with someone i know, and im only going to go if i have a decent amount of time off. My University website doesnt give me a clear answer, and i wont know the exact dates till i start. Just wondered if anyone could give me a rough answer or not.

Thanks in advance.

Ha, thats a pants deal.

I know I get Christmas day off, and that is it.

You're too lucky.

why?

that is so crap
having that long off at christmass would pisss me off no end

At my uni we break on the 19th december and go back first week of feb.

Depends on the course and how it's done, I'm on a modular course that just happens to have two units as 100% coursework, hence no exams to return to. Each uni is different though.

oi look bask in the time you are in demand, i will need you about in the end of may, when chelsea play at man utd 2nd last game of the season, and you glimpse the premier league trophy for the last time, as it is carried to west london. In the arms of the victorious chels! lol

haha, you'll have to try and catch me quicker! :P

I should be online more next week after i've retaken an exam.

Mind you, if i fail it i'll be online even more...

i didn't go to one of my lectures at all, i was only just about sure what it was called, the first material i had seen pertaining too the subject was the exam paper, Got 63%. classic.

PS. It wasn't laziness, just who do uni's think they are putting both the unit lectures at 9am! my only 9am's all year and both in semester 2, not my fault i didn't go!
