We were planning on visiting colleges over Spring Break (parent of HS junior) and I've noticed a lot of schools are shutting down...
Thought it would be good to compose a list: *Cornell is cancelling all college tours until at least April 15 https://www.cornell.edu/visit/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/09/us/coronavirus-university-college-classes/index.html * Harvard University will transition to online classes by March 23 * OSU cancelling in person class until March 30 *Princeton will move to virtual instruction starting March 23 *USCD will go remote starting March 25 *Stanford cancelling all in-person classes for final to weeks of winter. Cancelling campus tours/admit day. *Rice canceled in-person classes this week. |

From Brown:
All campus tours and information sessions offered by the Office of College Admission will be suspended effective Monday, March 16. Suspension of these events will remain in place until at least mid-April. In addition, the University has cancelled all “A Day on College Hill” events for admitted students, which had been scheduled for late April. Prospective and admitted students are invited to learn about Brown's campus through this virtual tour. |

| Smith is moving online. Students have until 3/20 to move out of dorms. And since Amherst already has announced the same, I imagine Mt Holyoke and Hampshire (whatever students are still there) will follow. |
