Harvard change

[magid]

Harvard is changing to a new, "coordinated" academic schedule, so all 13 schools have the same calendar. Which means that Harvard undergrads will no longer have the glory (*cough*) of exams after the holidays. And there will be a break before spring semester, a 3-week optional semester that sounds rather like MIT's IAP, though perhaps with less wide-ranging possibilities (I'm guessing it'll focus on academically-oriented things only).

I suspect undergrads everywhere are celebrating, just as soon as they get out of whichever exam they're in right now.
