[quote=Anonymous]One freshman, one junior, both going to their campuses. Going to college is part of the transition to adult life. And guess what? Their adult life now includes managing in the middle of a pandemic.

Freshman's college is only allowing freshmen and some seniors back in person. They will be one person per room in the dorms, extensive masks/distancing/cleaning/monitoring protocols etc. Not sure how much of the classes will be online vs. in-person, but I know that they are planning things to bring the freshman on-board to the campus culture. F2F outdoor social activities wearing masks? With everyone being monitored for COVID infection? About as low risk as you're going to get beyond complete isolation. DC's been reasonably cautious - not likely to suddenly change that. They will quarantine in their room for 2 weeks when they come home at Thanksgiving (or we will test, depending on what fall looks like at that time.)

Junior is in an off campus apartment. Most classes will be online, but again, learning to live life is part of the college experience. DC will be cooking and managing a household with a few friends. DC won't be coming home during breaks, and we will decide at the time about visits.[/quote]
