I want to make flight reservations for my soon-to-be a freshman daughter to come home for fall break. Should I find a flight that departs Friday evening or do the kids generally leave earlier in the day on Friday?
I think it would depend on your daughter’s class schedule. My DS has come home a day early because Friday-before-Fall-Break classes were cancelled, and he’s come home that evening. He’s also saved absences in classes and skipped a class or two the day break starts so he could come home early. I think a number of his professors have offered extra credit for the students who show up on the Friday of a break.
FWIW… there is a home football game during break this year…my S did not/would not come home during fall breaks when the Tigers were playing a home game…ymmv.
