While it is the shortest break offered to Ashland University students over the course of the school year, fall break is a time for students to refresh, recharge and gear up for midterms.
Fall break occurred last weekend and gave students Friday off from classes as well as their weekend.
While some stuck close to campus and caught up on homework, others traveled near and far to take a trip or simply head home to relax.
