Turkey Day Weekend, Boston-Style
19.05.12
Thanksgiving is traditionally the year’s busiest travel time, but because of soaring airline prices many students are not traveling home this year, but staying local for the holiday weekend.
In observance of the holiday, all University student residences will close tomorrow, November 23, at noon and remain closed until 10 a.m. on Sunday, November 27, along with residence dining halls, which will reopen for dinner on Sunday. The George Sherman Union will be open until 5 p.m. today if you need a place to wait for transportation after the residence halls close.
For those who are staying in Boston, some good news: there are plenty of things happening on and around campus to get you in the holiday mood. And the Thanksgiving break is a wonderful time to get out and explore the city. Visit a museum, go to the ballet, or head to the theater. There are a lot of great shopping events for those who want to get a head start on their gift-buying. Many events are free or offer student discounts. Below is a list of some that are not-to-be-missed.
