Here's a problem all Lehigh students will agree on, especially students who have friends at other colleges who actually respect national holidays - why don't we get off on Presidents' Day?! Happy Birthday George Washington, from every school but Lehigh.
Why is it that Lehigh only allots 5 days off per semester? In the fall, we are only off for two days for pacing break and three days (luckily) for Thanksgiving. In the Spring semester, our only break is spring break which encompasses the 5 day allowance in one shot. This policy seems semi-ridiculous to me. When the rest of the country's institutions are celebrating a national holiday, it seems rather unfair to hold classes. Public schools around the world enjoy this glorious Monday off, as do private institutions who lack this strict limited-days-off-per-semester policy. Everyone could use a random Monday in the middle of February off. But whoever makes Lehigh's calendar begs to differ.
