<p>Anyone with experience taking movie bus home for all the holidays/breaks? Do most kids leave campus for Mid-term recess (Thanksgiving break)?</p>
<p>Yes, most kids leave campus. But some don’t. It’s a few days of moderate loneliness . . .or a wonderful few days of peace and quiet. Depends on who you are and how you see things. I’m not sure I’d want to spend a really long vacation on campus, but the Thanksgiving break goes by pretty fast. </p>
<p>This is a common situation at many colleges, especially with students who have to travel a very long distance to get home so choose to stay instead. Really should not be a big deal, but with kids they can sometimes hyper-escalate it into a major Abandonment Crisis. Silly kids. I’d love to lounge around for four days with nothing much to do. Again, it depends on the kid and how they view it. </p>
<p>Sorry, don’t know anyting about the “movie bus”.</p>
<p>My son took the movie bus back and forth once freshman year - it was very convenient. After that, he was able to find a ride home (and once he had his own car at Colgate, always brought home a carload of kids himself). Most kids leave campus at Thanksgiving and October break; those who live far away often go home with their friends (our son brought home friends several times on breaks).</p>
