[quote=Anonymous]When I was an undergrad over 1200 miles from where I grew up, I had to make my own arrangements for transportation, so I fully get OP's rant. My Freshman and Sophomore years, I booked by flights around my Thanksgiving class schedule, meaning Wednesday afternoon.

My Freshman year, my professors held their classes, and most of them were virtually empty. One professor, in fact, seeing about 5 of 70 kids in the lecture hall, essentially gave us a final essay answer and told us not to share our notes with those who skipped. It was was almost a full grade difference in the course grade and most suffered for it.

My Sophomore year, my professors all cancelled their Wednesday classes on the Monday of Thanksgiving week. It was super annoying to spend almost an entire day alone (pre-internet) on campus before my flight. Had I known, I would have booked my flight on Tuesday after my last class.

So for my junior an senior years I just assumed classes would be cancelled on the Wednesday and booked accordingly and it worked out. But I totally get OP's rant. It is annoying as an out of state kid who is trying to be diligent about classes and travel considerations.[/quote]
