While this is a workable policy for many, it's also horrible for some. I hope JHU will pay attention to people whose plans, travel or otherwise, will be ruined by this to some extent. (Continued…)

For seniors, we still have to stay till the same day (27th). For everyone else, rescheduling this far in the future is doable. No one could foresee an event like this, with a week of school off from snow. (Continued…)

2) This cuts 3 days off of my otherwise awesomely long senior week(s).
3) Students now have 2 days (48 hours) in between the last day of classes and possibly their first exam, whereas originally they had 5. (Continued…)

If we're making up the week anyway, as we should, why on earth are they shortening reading period by 60%? I think most people would rather have the three extra days to study than go home three days earlier. (Continued…)

they should just push back everything by one week instead of shortening reading period. i think students prefer to go home late than mess up their finals. (Continued…)
