Guys, I am in the same boat too.
I am trying to take a break this spring session.
I spoke to the International Advisor in my college and her first sentence was, "we don't have semester break policy in our college." though my friends went to nepal this fall from same college.
Moreover, she focused on the new rule of DHS which I am unaware of, stating that F1 student should apply for the new I-20 if they take break on Spring semester as they cannot take classes in Summer.
I was wondering how an advisor can advice that way.
well guys, What should I do now.
