Thanksgiving Break Dining Options are Few

By Connect2Mason Information Director Miguel Perez

While most students choose to go home during Thanksgiving break, a small number stay on campus for different reasons. These students that choose to stay at Mason during Thanksgiving have very few campus dining options during that time.

Those that stay on campus must rely on off-campus dining locations for dining needs. The University shuts down during Thursday and Friday, and food venues are unavailable during this time.

The Office of International Programs & Services (OIPS) prepares their students for occasions like this.

“We hand out pamphlets containing information about off-campus dining to international students when they come to GMU,” said OIPS Administrative Assistant Hanadi Hamadi. “These students become very knowledgeable of these options and use them during Thanksgiving.”

During Thursday and Friday, all dining services but the One Stop Patriot Shop will be closed. The convenience store will be open from 10:00am-6:00pm
