dead week

At any major college or university, the week before finals are administered and most major projects and assignments are due for submission. The late night working and hardcore studying for finals gives the students a zombie like atmosphere, and causes an eerie silence and many blank, unseeing expressions.

The week before finals when being dead sounds more attractive than studying.

Also known as the week where you will see the most strangers crying.

a week long holiday in which the university try to juke students in to believing its a concentrated study period, when actually its a time for professors to give out as many exams as they can; also known as the week holiday professors enjoy to sit back, laugh & torment students... modern-day name: "Professor bullyism"

where universities choose to stop having parties because staying takes up our whole lives.....unless you go to the university of Alabama.

The week before finals at Pepperdine University when Administration tells instructors to have no assignments due, but they assign everything due for that week instead.

A term used to describe the time between the last finals of Yale and the official Commencement activities. As tradition in recent generations, graduating seniors travel during this time (especially to Myrtle Beach, SC). Other underclassmen participating or working for graduation all move to Old Campus housing. There are no planed events and thus they must just wait for Dead Week to end and graduation to start (the YPMB is famous for having a film festival with each class making a film during Dead Week--including a Junior feature length film--that is screened at the end of Dead Week).
