Need a quick US-pick

[panik]

What's the average vacation time for an American university student? How long is spring break, usually, and how long the summer (is it called summer break? How would you describe that, pretty-please)?

What time of year would those 2 vacation times occur? Approx dates are fine, thankee kindly.

Many TIA my lovelies.

Yes, that's right. Although the spring break week can happen anytime from late March to mid-April (if finals are in early May, then the break is more likely to be in March; if finals are later in May, then there's a later spring break....) And it's definitely summer vacation. Some schools offer a summer "session" of classes, but many private liberal arts colleges are closed over the summer.

I think summer vac will be too long for our requirements. Spring break sounds just about right - many thanks (but only a week!? That's criminal! We always got 3 weeks > a month for Easter hols.
