<p>My son will be a freshman at Pomona. Just saw on the calendar that there is a Fall Break from Oct 15-18, 2011. Do most of the students go home or do they stick around? I need to book airfare if he comes home - thanks.</p>
<p>Some students go home, many take regional trips with friends or do things with OTL (On The Loose), but many simply choose to stick around on campus and relax for a bit. Booking a ticket home isn’t necessary/mandatory by any means.</p>
<p>If you foresee your son getting homesick, that would be a good opportunity for him to take a break. Otherwise, there will be lots of people in the dorms.</p>
