Today marks the last day of classes before spring break, and when students return after Easter, there are only 10 days of class left, and 50 percent of students polled in the Quad Thursday said they would not be attending their Friday classes.
Out of 22 students asked at random if they would be going to class today, only 11 said they would most certainly be going. Three students counted were not going to class because their classes had been canceled by their professors.
Construction management freshman Andrew Bordelon said he has to go to class because he had a project due in one of his classes and an exam in another. However, some students, like communication disorders junior Chelsea Bonck had options.
“[My professor] gave us the option to either take our exam Friday or the week after the break,” Bonck said.
Emily Ilgenfritz said the only reason she is going to class today is because her ride home for the break can’t leave until after all of her classes, so she might as well go.
The weather has an effect on student attendance too, said Natalie Martin, kinesiology sophomore, who wouldn’t be going because it was too pretty outside.
