@SCMOM12 are you sure? I specifically asked the people at the Housing table at the resource fair if ANY dorms remain open (was thinking D could make friends with someone who lives in one) and was told emphatically, “no.” A student we met at orientation told us she specified that she needed housing in a building that doesn’t close over Thanksgiving and her assigned building does. I can’t remember where she said she is living. When I asked what the international students do, the housing people just kind of shrugged. Other parents though, did say they can make arrangements to house them, but you’d think the housing person would’ve said so.

I at least felt a little better to know other freshman parents were as surprised as I was. I think many of us were expecting our kids to stay on campus for Thanksgiving. My college was MUCH smaller than USC and always had break housing available over Thanksgiving.

Like everything else, I’m sure this will work out–but for right now, this is a big stressor!
