Allison D. Overholt '98 said she plans to travel to Chicago to meet friends from her high school in Hong Kong.
"There's twelve of us... A couple go to Northwestern and a couple go to the University of Chicago so we're going to meet at the Northwestern dorms," she said.
And Ivan C. Ho '98, who is from Hong Kong, said he is having a visitor for the break.
"I have a friend from New York who's going to stay over," Ho said. "We're going to go out and eat."
Several students interviewed yesterday said they planned to visit relatives in the area.
Marlene M. Ching '98, a Hawaii resident, said she plans to visit relatives in New York.
"It's kind of sad to spend Thanksgiving away from home, but it's better to see some relatives than none at all," Ching said.
Geoffrey C. Rapp '98, who is also from Hawaii, said he is traveling to Washington state to visit his mother for break.
"If you stay at Harvard 24 hours a day, you get sort of a cabin fever," he said. "You feel a lot better when you have a break from campus."
