You mentioned concerns with Stanford and the cost of flights but the average price I find round trip from Detroit to San Francisco is at or under $300.
I don't know of many schools that have a full week of break at Thanksgiving like Idaho does, so travel possibility and cost may be a factor a lot of places if she has a class that meets Wednesday and/or Monday as well as projects due right after break. Thanksgiving is an important holiday for a lot of people but she's going to make friends and likely know someone who lives closer she can go home with and stay over the few days instead of a whirlwind trip.
