Unfortunately, thanksgiving is one of the biggest holidays in USA and very few people or organizations would work or open for this time. This means that it is totally up to students to create some creative schedules. Few groups are trying to develop programs and we are one of those groups. Also, I understand that these holidays are very important for many international students who want to do some meaningful activities. Perhaps, you might search with us if you want.
遗憾的是,感恩节是在美国最大的节日之一,几乎没有任何人或组织会这个时候工作。意味着,学生全凭自己安排时间表。一些机构正试图开发一些项目,我们是其中之一。此外,据我了解, 这个假期也是很关键的,尤其对于想做些有意义活动的国际学生 。可以的话,您可以联系我们。 -
Depending on how old you are, you can look at this site: http://www.aesu.com/whyaesu/default.aspx
Otherwise, perhaps you can get a few friends together, pay for a chaparone, and go to Disney Land or Disney World.
There are also concierge services with chaparoned trips: http://www.conciergeforstudents.net/
Skiing is fun. If you haven't done it before you should! -
In terms of a more meaningful experience, it would be a good opportunity to participate in volunteer work. There are many local communities in America which would appreciate the assistance of any volunteers from ages 14 and onwards. For example in the attached link, you can see in the community of Cleveland, there are opportunities such as Habitat for Humanity, helping to serve food for the less fortunate and interacting with young children. Therefore, the first step would be to start searching online to to see how you can contribute to the local community.

抱歉目前我们还这项服务,但我觉着如果同学家可以呆的话是很好的一段经历,可以亲身体验美国的文化和节日的氛围,也是你到美国学习的目的之一啊!

Thanksgiving是美国家庭聚会的假日,家庭成员有可能来自不同的地方,有着不同的经历,对我们国际学生来说,是一个非常难得的了解美国人文的机会,不要轻易放过。安排的好的话,短短的节日期间,换住两三个美国同学的家里,让自己全身心的融入到他们的家庭里去,享受家庭的温暖,丰富自己的阅历,这样,你的感恩节会过的很有意义。

我觉得,该学的时候学,该玩的时候就玩,在合适的时间做合适的事情。考大学虽然重要,但是如果你能在放假的时候得到十足的放松,回到学校可以再集中攻克,效果会更好。学习方面,投入的时间是重要,但关键看效率,看你的有效时间内的产出是多少。10多天时间,不论想做什么,安全第一,这是毋庸置疑的。而在感恩节期间,很多Short term的学校也是放假状态。如果你所在的学校是大城市,你可以趁着放假,Explore一下当地的一些儿名胜,而至于住同学家,如果可以住的话,还是建议住在美国当地同学家,参与下美国家庭生活也挺有意思的,学习下烹饪美餐什么的~~
