Hey guys,

I don't live in the U.S. so I wanted to ask for universities and their offices are they closed the entirety of next week because of Thanksgiving instead of just one day (i.e., this monday)?

I ask because I noticed on DCOM's website that they do but wasn't certain whether their admis. office would be as well.

Well, I guess it will vary by school. But, traditionally, Thanksgiving week is a Monday-Wednesday work week. Thanksgiving is Thursday and 99% of offices are closed the day after to make for a long holiday weekend. University administrative offices tend to operate on the same schedule.

A lot of schools close for Wednesday as well, so I would call the individual schools and check that out. They probably won't do interviews that week anyway because I would imagine that a lot of people would be away. :luck:

I think the same. I believe most places close Thursday and Friday.
