Just curious as to why U of T doesn’t have a full reading week in the fall like other universities seem to have?<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

i’m curious, too. i haven’t been able to find any official explanation of the reasoning online. this Varsity article<\/a> gives a pretty good overview of the issue, though it questions why we only get a two-day break instead of a full week, as we do in the winter term.<\/p>\n

for what it’s worth (and this is JUST ASKA’S OPINION – i’m not speaking on behalf of any university administration<\/a>), it makes sense to me that in a school where full-year courses typically make the winter term heavier than the fall term, that the break in the winter would be longer than in the fall.<\/p>\n

but hey, we’re all allowed our own opinions on the matter. freedom, and all that.<\/p>\n

hope you enjoy your (albeit modest) break when it does come,<\/p>\n
