<p>Do people usually go home for fall break? It is a week long correct?</p>
<p>Fall break is usually just a three day weekend. This year, Fall break is Friday, October 11. Some kids go home, if they live close enough. My D and her friends rented a cabin in the mountains last year. But, it’s really not enough time for most kids to go home.</p>
<p>Thanksgiving week has class Monday and Friday classes on tues. my D has no classes on Fridays. Do professors usually hold classes on mon, airfare is a lot cheaper earlier on Monday.</p>
<p>Can’t help you with Thanksgiving…my kid has never come home. I would suspect that most professors still have Monday classes. But I suppose you’d have to check with the individual professor.</p>
<p>Do dorms remain open?</p>
<p>The only break where residence halls fully close down is for winter break in between semesters in December/January, which is about 4 weeks long. One or two do remain open for international students. For any other break, it’s totally possible to remain on campus in the residence halls.</p>
<p>I think TDR closes over Thanksgiving break. But there are still plenty of places near campus to eat - and kitchens in most of the dorms. My D and some of her friends had fun cooking their own Thanksgiving meal, although I think they cheated on the turkey and purchased it precooked from Whole Foods!</p>
