The gathering was held in the campus's Surbeck Center and about a dozen students took part in the festivities.   Freshman Hunter Joseph says, "I think it's actually pretty nice. I mean, I thought I was going to be sitting in the dorm doing nothing during Thanksgiving. Then I got the email about this, and I was like 'Yay!' And it's nice to be here with all the people...some of my friends, eating good food, and I think it's really kind of them."   Some students say they opted not to travel because of expense or because they are already planning to travel for the Christmas holiday.
