    Nope, not this semester!

    Spring Calendar of Events

    "Due to the timing of the Easter break, there is no mid-term break scheduled this semester"

    Better say 'adios' to the family... or convince them to wait until exams end. :smile:

    I don't understand! Why does UBC have a reading break? Do they get out later? I don't think so...

    do they have one this year?

    usually they seem to have a reading break cuz they start a week before we do, but this year they started the same time as us, so i'm not sure if they do have a reading break still

    It seems most universities get reading week. I wanted to head back to ontario and chill with my friends who all have reading weeks, but I was told last semester that they don't have one this year.

    yeah same, i wanted to go to Montreal to visit my friend at McGill but nope, no reading week. from what i know ubc, uvic, western, queen's, mcgill ALL have reading week!! :(

    though thinking about it, we DO get our tuition's worth........

    sfu runs on semester system, its just hard to fit it in

    ubc runs on quarter system

    most american colleges run quarter, thus they also hav a spring break

    Doesn't UBC always start a week earlier? Whatever, you paid for the 13 weeks it. Don't go if you don't wanna; it's only not fair if they cut out classes :smile: .
