thinker88--are you in CT (your "location" says so)? My impression is that the ride board is pretty active, and that it's not too difficult to catch a ride home with someone, especially if you're in New England. Current folks--is this true?
A lot of kids who aren't from New England go home with friends who live nearby. My impression is that most who live outside New England don't go home since it's a pretty short break and Thanksgiving is not far away. Maine is beautiful in October and there would be a lot of good options for a wonderful long weekend right in the area.

...and here's another one! My husband can't believe that there are no shelves of any kind in the rooms, but this is what the Colby housing site seems to be saying. What's the scoop? Should we be planning to get bookshelves or some such storage/shelving/milk crates?
Nope, no shelves aside from the single one in the standalone wardrobe. I have the $20 Walmart bookcase, and it works fine. (It also fits nicely on top of my desk.)
