You know the meal is going to be good when students line up an hour before dinnertime, just to get first dibs. And the annual Thanksgiving feast didn't disappoint. Students selected from a cornicopia of traditional holiday foods, served in the Dining Hall, and a mouth-watering selection of desserts so large that they were housed in a separate room.

To check out what they ate—and see photos of other Thanksgiving-week events on campus—see our pre-holiday slideshow.
