TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - While school is out for colleges in the area, some students are having to stay in the city instead of heading home to see their family.
Some students can't afford the trip home, while others just can't get time off from their job.
That's the case with one Florida A&M student this holiday.
This is the second year that Sharard Saddlers has had to miss the holidays with his family. Saddlers says he can't afford to take off work and has to use the time he has here to make money for the future.
"I don't wanna call it overwhelming, it's time consuming. It's the holiday time,' said Saddlers. "People want there gifts we wanna get our hours but at the same time I've been in Tallahassee since August when school started. Really since the entire summer. I wanna say like June. So I mean, it's a contradicting feeling like I need the money and at the same time I wanna go home and see my people."
Classes for students at Florida State University will get started again on January 9th.
For students at Florida A&M, the spring term will begin four days earlier, on January 5th.
