    (When) does everyone go home for Christmas holiday/winter break?
    Hi!

    I'm an international student and wondering when to go home for the Christmas holiday/winter break (I have to book the flight now!). Are all British students typically going home on the last week/day of teaching or do some stay for the weekend or the first week of the holiday?

    I would like to stay for a few days, but that doesn't make sense if nobody is around. End of Teaching is Friday, 7th December.

    People will be about for the weekend... Some will be there for a few more days, but I would book a Sunday flight if you can (or a few days after if you can't).
