Hey guys! I got accepted EA (and Bennington's my first choice) and I will be visiting the US to check out the colleges I've been accepted to - between April 5th and 15th. Last time I visited, it was during FWT, so I didn't get to see the student body. And this time I'm afraid my visiting dates could clash with your spring break. I couldn't find the dates on your Academic Calendar, so I though I'd ask you. When should I be coming?

Hi! Bennington’s version of spring break is called Long Weekend and this spring it’s from April 11th-15th.
There are still students who are on campus during Long Weekend, but as you might imagine, it can be a bit deserted. If you want to get a better sense of the students/community, I’d suggest trying to schedule the visit between the 5th and the 10th (and maybe trying to sit in on a class while you’re here!) - plus, if you come to visit on the 5th, that’s my birthday, so you can bring me a present and maybe I’ll let you have some cake.

P.S. For future reference, you can find the academic calendar right here.
