Curious: Do You Go Home For Thanksgiving and Christmas?

Hello HBCU Students: Do you get to go home for both Thanksgiving and Christmas? I am curious because I mentioned to a fellow HBCU mom that my son was coming home this year for both holidays. She went on about what a "waste" of time and money that was and she also said that MOST college kids do not and that I was spoiling my child... I could not imagine not having our family together for Thanksgiving... We are actually planning on going to the Bayou Classic with another family this year to show our support. What do you get to do? Surely going home for both is not being spoiled right?

I'm definitely going home for Thankgiving, i'm just two hours away. Can't wait. Duh! I'm going home for Christmas Break. Campus is going to be closed anyway.

wow i thought it was a given that u go home for the major holidays guess not so to the ones who stay at your school for thanksgiving what do u have tv dinners? :lol: that **** but my college kicks everyone out for the holidays so u have no choice but to go home for the holidays

^^yeah, my college does that too....besides most people here live within 2 hrs of the school so thats koo....people go home for the weekends all the time...hell i do..but i only live 20 mins away

Yes I am going home also. I don't say this very often, but I miss my family, and I really miss my Sean!!!!

definitely NOT going home for thanksgiving.... usually i cook most of the stuff so i'm not missing much..... my fam (mom and dad), might come down here and spend thanksgiving with me, but i doubt it. i got my friends coming down from atlanta and tuskegee spending thanksgiving with me and my roomie and our other friends that are getting kicked out the dorm... HUGE SLUMBER PARTY @ STEPH-DIZZLE's HOUSE, lol as far as Christmas, hell yes I'm going home, not for the whole winter break month i'm off but for that week, then i'm going to ATL for New Year's.....

i usually don't go home 4 thanksgiving because jersey is too from charlotte but christmas it's a must go back home

Okay, lets see... ...Ft. Valley is 2 hours from home... ...all of my family that lives in this state is cramped up in Atlanta... ...I'm 1 of only 3 people from my high school who go here... ...all of my friends from back home either go to Albany, W. Ga, Ga. South, Valdosta; basically, everywhere 'cept here... ...yeah, I'm going home.

everybody school is shut down durning winter right.....thats the end of the semester?
