<p>Well when I was there many years ago I would have gone back as soon as dorms opened to have time with friends. May have something to do with bringing in transfer and second semester freshmen…they have a move-in and orientation on same day, but it gives them time to get oriented. Also athletes may need to come back early. I would say the date my D goes back will be partly determined by her roommates. Tuesday may be too early, but probably definitely before weekend. I guess for OOS students it’s nice to have more options to make travel arrangements.</p>
<p>As to dining, in the fall dining is open as soon as dorms open so I would guess the same here although maybe on reduced schedule. Couldn’t find it on website but that info may be up after Thanksgiving break.</p>
