I'm in college and I live four hours from home. I go back every other weekend to see family and my girlfriend. Are my two turtles better off staying here for the weekend if I leave friday afternoon and come back sunday evening or coming home with me? Or should i not even leave them alone?

Ypu can get feeder fish so if they do get hungry they can eat. But they should be ok by themselves for few days. If you are worried about find someone you can trust to check in on them.

moving them wouldn't be hard if u have another setup for them home but if u travel alone and can't look after them all the way then leaving them back is also fine. 2 days aren't a big deal they'll be ok hopefully Smile

Turtles can go for a couple of days without feeding. There have been plenty of times that I had to go away for about a week. I just bought them some feeder fish and put a bunch of pellets in the tank. In the wild they don't always find food everyday.
