全休

• 発音: /zeɴ.kjɯː/

意味

A day with zero scheduled classes — the holy grail of university timetable planning.

全休 is the dream of every university student: a weekday with no classes at all. Students strategically plan their course schedules (履修登録) to create 全休 days, treating it as a game of optimisation. Having a 全休 on Friday effectively creates a three-day weekend, making it especially prized. The ability to create 全休 days is considered a mark of clever scheduling.
