[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big question is when Thanksgiving cancellations will start. It's going to be a tough holiday for many, especially those with college students who are unable to return home. We need to get the government to reopen![/quote]

Yes those poor college students who can afford airfare home during the most expensive time of the year .  . .[/quote]

whats wrong PP? you sound kind of grumpy 
or is it your college student doesn't want to come home for the holidays . . .[/quote]

I think the PP is clearly snarky bc the arrogance of the original post is a bit ridiculous. "a tough holiday for many, [b]especially[/b] those with college students who are unable to return home." WTF. It'll be a tough holiday for THE ENTIRE COUNTRY not just college kids if there are massive flight delays.

Plus, the vast majority of college kids (2/3) live within driving distance of home so they are likely to be unaffected by airports. Primarily elite, wealthy kids will be flying in from their private schools for break. The general consensus in this country (and the globe, really) is that we don't feel sorry for rich people.[/quote]

I’ll bite.  Vanderbilt closes its dorms for the entire week.  Pretty sure other schools do too.  I don’t think it’s arrogant to want your kid to be able to fly home for Thanksgiving, but I understand your broader point.[/quote]

"All on-campus residents are eligible to register with housing to remain in their on-campus housing (residence hall or Greek house) for any portion of the Thanksgiving Break.  There are no additional charges to remain on campus during the Thanksgiving Break."[/quote]

Yep this is how most places do it. You have to let them know you are staying, but you can stay. Often dining is limited to one location and only certain hours. [/quote]
