Yes, I belive they are open for the holidays you mention, but not for the break between terms. The food service is somewhat spotty during the breaks, though.

Definitely yeah. As mafool mentioned, food is really annoying so anticipate having to spend a lot of food points ordering alot, or just have a lot of food in your room. Also, buses run infrequently and stop running really early, so there isn't alot of travel between campuses.

It's always nice to make sure you know some other people hanging out on campus so you can have movie marathons, things like that. Most people I know end up watching like, multiple seasons of TV shows and whatnot. You also might find people inviting you home to spend holiday's, like Thanksgiving with their families. I know many friends who have spend Thanksgiving and Spring Break with close friends of theirs who live within driving distance.
