Chances are BU students are going to be among the more than 43 million Americans traveling this week for the Thanksgiving holiday.

For many of them, a trip home for the holidays is a welcome opportunity to eat home-cooked meals, catch up with family and friends, and sleep in.

“YouSpeak” typically appears on Mondays on BU Today.
