The holiday season will be here soon, which means many students are already making plans to go home. But there are those who just don't have that option. Some have to stay in town due to work. Retail stores are scheduling students through Thanksgiving week. Others who are staying in San Marcos are international students whose homes are just too far away. If you're staying on campus, the University Police Department advises you to park your vehicles close to others, and -- as always -- lock your doors.
