In canada, We have "Jour du souvenir" The same thing as the veterans day. The only one with a day off are the person working for the gouvernement, post office, ect.

Do you need a day off to do your home work...

All you college students are just going to have to suck it up. There are very, very few colleges and universities in the US that close for Veterans Day, just as very few close for Columbus Day or Presidents Day. This is because if it's a day off for the students, it would be a day off for the employees, and the university wants to minimize the number of paid holidays it gives through the course of the year.

Typically the time off that would have gone for Veteran's Day is given to the employees around Christmas so they get a more of a break around the bigger holiday.

Truth is, university holidays have NOTHING whatsoever to do with the students and everything to do with the employees. You students get fall breaks, spring breaks, semester breaks and summers off -don't bitch about not getting Veteran's Day.

Often givivg time off on Holidays only trivializes the day. In the case of Thanksgiving and Christmas it is appropriate because they are times when poeple gather in-mass. On "memorial" days however a moment of silence or rememberence of some kind is much more appropriate. One of the greatest fears of people I speak to is that 9-11 will be made a day off work and turn into just another excuse to party. In the case of Veterans day I have to say I would feel the same way.

I got both veterans day and friday off, I believe the only people that should get it off are those who are veterans though.

I go with what Zui said, in college you get plenty of vacation time. Especially how you have your classes set up, some students will have school on Vets day and some wont. It's as simple as that.

try almost 5 months of vacation time. it actually makes you want to go back to school after long enough.
