I spent my first Thanksgiving on campus, and I was pretty happy with what I did over the break. My friends and I did Friendsgiving on campus in a upper-division student’s apartment, and I also called my parents while I was eating, too, so I could talk to them.

Funily enough, I found a lot of my friends stuck on campus too (mainly international students who couldn’t go home abroad). What we did was take day trips down to Roanoke or spend a long day up in D.C. I would check with the institution to see if any smaller departments or professors are doing events. The W&L’s international student coordinator took two vans of us to DC for a day - I was able to sign on through word-of-mouth. Your S23’s institution may also do similar trips you can probably find out if you ask around.
