@newmaroonmom To clarify, my daughter says that the shuttles are currently running. Quoting from the UChicago’s Shuttle page, "The shuttles run year-round except on University-honored holidays. " It could be a reduced schedule for Thanksgiving, but they would post that before the holiday. There are plenty of opportunities for food since as you shared, dining halls are open except for Thanksgiving evening. I would guess that they will also be closed Saturday evening as they always are. All dorms have kitchens, so this could be the chance for him to make a favorite meal or get together with friends and make something together. He can get groceries from Trader Joe’s or from Jewel-Osco, or you can have things delivered. If he doesn’t like to cook, he and perhaps some of the other kids in his house can explore some of the restaurants on E. 53rd., or he/they could venture into other Chicago neighborhoods to try out their restaurants.
