We will be the first to admit that Fall Break is not a life or death type of issue, but we, the students of the WVU College of Law, work hard. We work hard every day to do our work and stay up to date on class reading. We work so hard that sometimes it is hard for us to see the people we care about, even the people we love. Don't we deserve a small break to visit our families? Or perhaps we need those two days to catch up on Appellate Advocacy or any other class that requires a huge amount of time dedicated to research and writing. For many of us Fall Break would barely be a vacation, but instead would be a much needed break to study, research, write, and hone our knowledge. We respect the Administration at the College of Law, but feel that we must make our voices heard. We believe that we at least deserve an explanation of exactly why this break is being taken away, and preferably a voice in the decision. We were barely given the former, and not given the latter at all.

The momentum behind this request confirms that students across the College of Law are aligned in their need for a brief respite. It is encouraging to see such collective recognition of our shared academic burden. We are currently preparing to present this feedback to the administration.

Just let us go home for a weekend to see our families. Is that really too much to ask for?

Totally agree. They need the time to catch up on research and outlining. Fix this.

Law school is brutal and having absolutely no downtime is just setting people up for burnout. Give them the break back.

WVU needs to step up. My fiancé is in the program and is absolutely drowning right now.

Let them rest. Theyre human being too not robots. Work load is insane already.

Seriously? Even undergrads get a fall break. How does the law school get away with this?
