[quote=Anonymous]Another thing to note is that the summer break (and graduation) are usually at different times than other schools.  I remember starting school in the fall well after all of my friends at other schools.  And we got out for the summer much later.  Oh, and I just double-checked the calendar.  Exams for the fall term are before Thanksgiving.  So you're all done and can completely rest over break which runs past New Year's.  No classes hanging over your head during the holidays.

I went to Dartmouth a while ago, so things may have changed, but I don't think it's truly mandatory to be on campus for sophomore summer.  It may be necessary to be enrolled, but I had friends who studied abroad their sophomore summer.

It definitely is different, but I chose to focus on the positives (of which there are many).  Sophomore summer is a blast.  The weather is great, you really get to bond with your class, and I also used it to explore a different living arrangement that was harder to coordinate during the regular school year (greek house instead of dorm). I had a lot of options for internships during my junior fall off campus.  The workload is intense and I found it easier to juggle the demands of three classes instead of four.  [/quote]
