Colleges Cancelling Tours

[Anonymous]

Do we need schools and colleges to tell us that going to these huge gatherings is a bad idea? If a college doesn't cancel, would you still go on a big tour/open house right now?

There were 15 cases in the US one week ago. We're now at 312 confirmed and goodness who knows how many more haven't been confirmed due to lack of testing.

But my president has assured me that it’s contained and that they have beautiful test kits.

Best comment of the thread. Remain calm! All is well!

But still, you realize, it is at less than 1 hundredth of 1 per cent of the total population, right?

Check the admissions websites every few days! If tours are cancelled they will post it there. If you are registered for one, ask your student to actually open their email and let you know if there are changes.
