This. When I was on this team and now when I come back and "mentor" (term used VERY lightly), first semester finals fall directly in the middle of build season. You may think that this is an argument for a longer build season but the fact that finals are in the middle of build season and mid terms come around right after build season (actually I'm not sure about that for this school anymore but MY midterms definitely do... lol
) it's fine the way it is. Also, mentors are here for a LONG time. 6 weeks is plenty.
Of course your argument is about supply and demand (basically), and to that I don't have much to say. I just wanted to say that any longer than 6 weeks can cause a commitment issue (hell there's already commitment issues but that's a story for another time) so maybe you are correct and a longer build season can fix that issue but for students you want to keep it at 6 weeks.
