Wondering which schools y'all go to and the amount of summer break y'all have each year?

I THINK that most schools give about 2 weeks for summer break and one week for winter break. Just to give you an idea. ***Not a current dental student*** so perhaps someone else can confirm.

This varies between schools and between years.

How do you work out traveling to things that to not overlap with your schools' breaks? I.e. going for a wedding, graduation, etc.? Do you just leave as you would in college, or is there more of a process?

We have about 6 weeks off total. 2 weeks between the spring and summer session and 4 weeks between the summer and fall session.

like spring break and winter included?

If spring break and winter was included stony would have 8 weeks off first year and 6 the two weeks after.

UConn is looking like 10-12 weeks off between D1 and D2. The summers get progressively shorter each year iirc.

Yeah, we get 1 week off for spring break in February, 1 week off in April between transitioning from winter to spring semester, 1 week off during 4th of July week, 2 weeks off at the end of August, and 2 weeks off for winter break in December.
