The end of August is a short term. Freshmen have three weeks of military training, and sophomores to seniors have one month of experimental or practical courses.
Followed by two long semesters, each with 18 weeks, 16 weeks of classes and 2 weeks of exams. You can have a holiday after the exam.
These contents can be found on the website of the academic affairs office of the school. College students are adults, you should learn to collect information by yourself, and many things will not be reminded by others.
