Braslavsky: The case for fall break

Sophomore Tom Braslavsky, a Hatchet columnist, argues that GW should join other major institutions in providing students with a fall break.

Yet, oddly, we have no days off in the month of October. No extra days to use for studying. No extra days to de-stress at an increasingly nerve-racking time of year, no time before, after or during midterms. I’ve heard of students feeling so stressed that they were affected psychologically. Couldn’t situations such as these be eased by some extra, unburdened time?

    Preach the word. There is a long list of what is wrong/lacking with this University and this aspect is near the top of my list.
