Thanksgiving Break and Residence Halls

Question for any current students, are the residents halls open during break? My D is a freshman and she is coming home for break but since the Rutgers football game is a home game she wants to go to the game and we were going to drive down, go to the game with her and then bring her home on Saturday.

It looks like on the RPS page that all dinning halls are closed on Saturday through the break. Trying to figure out if she stays on campus that Friday night is there an extra charge to stay in her room. If the dinning halls are closed then it would seem they expect most students to leave on Friday.

They definitely close at some point over break, but I’m not exactly sure what day. I would have your daughter ask her RA. Also, I remember them putting up signs well in advance saying when the dorm will close, so she might be able to find one of those.

They close at 9 am on Saturday

Also, if your motivations for going to the Rutgers game have anything to do with bowl eligibility, your plans might change by next week. IU should beat Illinois, but if they lose, the rest of the games are essentially meaningless because they can’t make a bowl.

Yeah, won’t be bowling this year. Actually, my daughter is just into sports and likes to go to the games. We actually saw a close up of her yesterday on TV while watching the IU vs. Wisconsin game. We didn’t have any other plans and tickets were dirt cheep to the game so we figures as long as we need to drive down to Bloomington that we might as well take in the game.

I’m surprised the residence halls are closing that early on Saturday. I would have thought they would have closed later if not on Sunday.
