After 6 weeks, there's no chance of housing refunds (?)

Grounds.

Good for them. Kind of a weird school, but it’s the right decision.

Did some students lose housing? How did they dedensify the dorms?

Calm down, we’ve flattened the curve.

After six weeks they can send everyone home and keep the money – – housing revenue secured...

The past week or 2 with the upperclassman living off-Grounds back has gone surprisingly well. Minimal partying, lots of mask wearing, and good social distancing. Unfortunately, I think they’re basing this decision off the upperclassman’s good behavior, but it’s been the freshman at other universities that are messing it up.

Awww. That’s so cute that you think they’re not partying
Your kid might not be, but my kid’s Snapchat is telling her otherwise

Well, whatever they're doing, they aren't causing a spike, so hooray. So happy for my son, a first year! 🙂

UVA's own research, announced this week, forecast that by fall, Virginia (the state, not just the university) will be back where it was in May re: rising infections. We're heading back up.

But hey, you go right ahead fantasizing about how it's just fine to have thousands of party-prone young "adults" massed together in Charlottesville etc.

In Virginia, several schools have welcomed students back. Only William and Mary is not seeing a surge in cases. Radford is a disaster -- they can't test more than 60 people a day...JMU seems to be about to explode. VCU had to find more quarantine dorms.

VT is rising, but it is not more than you would expect based on the campus size (10 at Tech compared to 50 or so at Radford). W & M had one in the last week.

Good decision
