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.

Spring break is a week -- most of the area universities have theirs mid-March but CUNY keyed theirs to Easter/Passover this year so theirs was in April. As for summer break, I'm a free woman as of mid-May, 'til Labor Day (which I think is the same as fall Bank Holiday for you). We also usually have three weeks for winter break, fwiw -- late December to mid-January. (Before Christmas, and classes generally start the day after the MLK holiday, which isn't his real birthday as it shifts and is on a Monday every year.)

Fall Bank Holiday? No - we don't have a 'Fall' for it to fit in. :o) We have Summer Holidays/Hols which generally run from June to September or early October. There's an August Bank Hol that's just one day that fals in the midst of that.

So MLK day is a moveable feast? I like that. :o)
