science fiction – all dorms close over the breaks between quarters (so, Christmas break, Spring break), except for South Campus. It does close over the summer, though. In fact, everyone needs to remove all of their belongings from the dorms for summer break because teams/ programs use them for housing.

International students are encouraged to ask friends who live in South Campus if they can stay in their rooms over the inter-quarter breaks, and there are a variety of other options for the summer.
I went home with a friend over Spring Break last year, and subletted an apartment with other students (which is also really easy!) over the summer. Many of my international friends also lived in International House: [International House at the University of Chicago](http://ihouse.uchicago.edu/)
