Not come home ever again? Would that be possible?

Hello. I’m going to be a freshman at Harvard, and I’ve been thinking a lot about going off to college.

I’m 98% certain that I am never going to come back home again (I live in CA). This means Thanksgiving break, winter break, spring break, and summer. I know you can stay in the dorms and Annenberg is open during Thanksgiving break and Spring break which is what I am going to do, and I am planning to take internships or get a job during summer so I can have somewhere to stay.

However, for winter break, dorms are closed and so are dining halls. What would I do for winter break? How does winter session work? Would I be able to do that as a freshman? Does it cost a lot of money?

If winter session is not available, I’m thinking about saving enough money from working on-campus and then using that to live somewhere during winter break.

Does this whole plan seem plausible / like a good idea? Any insider tips or suggestions? Thank you.
