There are other things you can do if you cannot make it home as well.

You could get a meal from one of the dining halls or go on Brown Street and grab takeout from one of the many restaurants there. If you’re like me, I’ll Facetime my family back home and have easter dinner virtually. 

The weather has been getting beautiful, so you can even grab your friends on campus and play some spike ball or do some other fun outdoor activities. The RecPlex will be still be open during the weekend but with adjusted hours.
