Students normally take vacation. They are infamous for it in all cultures. Fortunately, our students don’t get into (much) mischief. And okay, in the past it used to take a week or two to go home (back when most walked and fasted transportation was an ox-cart or s stage coach). One should also note that nothing requires a student to use a vacation for goofing off. It isn’t like Tisha B’Av where learning Torah is prohibited.
