Curious what date is everyone's first day back to school?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
27th for me :(
 
September 9th for me :)
 
26th

Curious to see what your ages are. I just turned 21 & didn't start college until spring 12, so my fall semester is full of core classes > humanities, comp, chem, etc. No physics, calc, or electronic-based courses til' spring. lol, I'll def be year round (summer classes too) trying to play catch up

Guess I have time to get ahead:)

In Poland schools start on September 1st (all lower types of schools) and October 1st (universities of all kinds).

Statistically, you should know more about school starting datetime than I do. But some of my brother's friends (born 1987-1988) started their school on 27th, my youngers sister(1985) started 27th too. It depends on schools, mine's orientation is starting on Sept 18th for freshers. Irrelevantly, we'll all be back to school on in October - sighing...
