Always best to ask first, but apparently the breaks are built in to make 'women feel more normal', i.e. have periods. The period when you decide to have a break can be more severe than normal though.
Also, melissa, while it sounds like a fantastic idea, I must remind you that not everyone gets on with the pill, for some it can cause/ emphasize pain, anguish, depression, mood swings, etc. Many girls are OK, but if you don't want your studies to be disrupted I'd suggest starting in a holiday....and anyone who feels they are suffering from depression/ anxiety should discuss this with their GP when considering going on the pill.
Hope that helps

Not wrong there
I've had nausea, headaches and tiredness for two years and it's only just now that the doctors have decided it could be linked with the pill after all. (they say this after having finally done blood tests and stuff)
