That makes sense. I've always seen J-Term like Williams's, where students are required to come back and the majority do some sort of academic project/class.
Yeah, Smith J-term is pretty unique in its flexibility, which is great. I spent all of my first J-term at home, but that's a five week break if you count winter break too, so that was a little much. Usually I'd stay at home through new years and head back the first week of J-term sometime to work and also to just relax and enjoy hanging out with my friends, on campus, without the craziness of school.
