Rice1961: Thanksgiving weekend, she’ll get off the plane and board a bus full of ND students headed for campus. Just make sure the flight lands in Chicago by the early evening. There are later buses, I just didn’t want my kids to be in a situation of trying to make the last bus if the flight was late. Coach USA adds multiple buses to their schedule at school breaks to handle the ND students trying to get to and from campus. If she has to wait at all for the bus at the airport, she will be standing with a bunch of other ND students waiting for the same bus.

I suggested my kids wear ND shirts/sweatshirts while traveling as freshman - it helps them find each other if anyone has questions. FYI - after freshman year, my kids chose to stay on campus over Thanksgiving break. Too much money and travel time for too short a period at home, especially since we don’t live close to a major airport. There are plenty of other students on campus over Easter and Thanksgiving and they use the time to rest and catch up.
