Thanksgiving Day also happened to be freshman Pedro Petcov's first time ever on campus. Most of NYU Shanghai's international students are still spread out across over 70 countries around the world due to the pandemic. But many have begun returning to Shanghai in recent weeks.
"It's amazing to be on campus and meeting people in-person for the first time," said Petcov, who arrived three weeks ago from McLean, Virginia of the United States and had just completed quarantine. "It's Thanksgiving, of course I'm missing my family a bit, but Thanksgiving here feels familiar. Like I'm home."
