Thanksgiving vacation

<p>When does Kalamazoo break for Thanksgiving? When do you have to be back?</p>

<p>In another thread, a California parent was complaining about an unnamed school in the Midwest that had classes the Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. That would make it difficult for a California kid to come home for the Thanksgiving break, so I wondered what the situation is at Kalamazoo. (Though I think if he were at K, Fang Jr probably wouldn't fly home just for a few days at Thanksgiving. That's two long flights for a short visit.)</p>

<p>Even though classes are officially held the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, many profs cancel, or at least the afternoon classes. This year, 1st quarter ended right before Thanksgiving and final exam week is Tues, 12/2 - Fri, 12/5. All the residence halls are open during Thanksgiving break including dining hall meal service for kids who decide to stay. The dorms will close for winter break on Sat, 12/6 and reopen the weekend of 1/3-4 with 2nd quarter classes starting on 1/5.</p>

<p>Thanks, GoBlue.</p>
