Here are some suggestions for celebrating Thanksgiving at your student housing communities.

It’s that time of year. Time for turkey, stuffing, and young adults coming home to their parents’ house with a mountain of dirty laundry.
Around Thanksgiving, many students head home, which will probably leave your student housing community pretty empty in the coming week. Before everyone clears out for the holiday, here are some things you can do around the community to make the holiday easier.
Offer shuttles to the bus/train station. The week of Thanksgiving, since many of your student residents are probably going to be traveling, a great feature you could offer your residents is a free shuttle bus to the nearest bus or train station. Or, you could partner with a company such as Uber and offer residents a free ride up to a certain dollar amount. This will make things easier for those who need to travel, and a great talking point.
