Generally speaking, American universities have two semesters: the spring semester starts around 65438+ 10/7, and the final exam in early May basically ends in mid-May. The autumn semester starts at the end of August, starts in early February of 65438 and ends in mid-February of 65438. Between the two semesters, there are summer semester and winter semester, but the time is short, especially in winter semester, which is generally about 2 weeks. The summer term is longer. From late May to early August, students can choose courses according to their own conditions, and they don't need to study at school all summer. The advantage of winter and summer vacations is that the curriculum is relatively compact, and most international students like to choose. First, you can get more credits and strive to graduate early; Moreover, a compact course can also save a lot of accommodation expenses. As can be seen from the time, American universities attach great importance to summer vacation, which lasts for three months, while winter vacation is basically absent. In addition to the normal winter and summer vacations, American universities arrange spring beaks in the middle of the spring semester every year, usually for one week, and some schools arrange two-week holidays, basically in March. Of course, there are also public holidays in some countries, such as Martin Luther King Day (the third Monday of 65438+ 10) and Easter (the time varies according to the Christian calendar). I haven't experienced other festivals, so I'm not sure yet. I'll add it later.
