But, from a Canadian university? Summer vacation? Extremely long. Many schools end their final exams at the beginning of the school year in May and have a holiday after the last class. The holiday will not end until the beginning of September. The whole summer vacation lasted for 4 months.
There is a purpose for the school to have such a long summer vacation:
Purpose 1: class. There are no fixed universities in Canada? Four years? It is said that getting a bachelor's degree in a few years depends on how many courses you choose each semester, and you can get a bachelor's degree in three years; If you have few choices, you may not graduate in five years. Generally speaking, it is normal to take 4 or 5 courses in a semester. If you choose more courses, the pressure may be even greater. In order to help students learn faster and save credits, universities will also offer some courses during the summer vacation. In this way, students can take one or two other courses during the summer vacation after completing the courses they choose during the semester.
Purpose 2: Work. The tuition fee of a Canadian university in one academic year is about 10 thousand Canadian dollars (referring to Canadian students, the tuition fee of international students should be doubled or even more), and the room and board plus miscellaneous fees should be at least 10 thousand a year. Twenty thousand Canadian dollars a year, even for Canadians who have taken the capitalist road for more than 100 years, is not a small expense. Many Canadian students earn their tuition by working after school without family support. During the long four-month summer vacation, are students working? Golden season? . Labor Canada counts the unemployment rate. What is one of the sub-items? Unemployment rate of working students? Explain the importance that the whole Canadian society attaches to students' part-time jobs.
