[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the same stuff they always offered that kids skipped to go to parties. Paint night, movies on the lawn, outdoor yoga, a bunch of virtual stuff. According to the facebook group for parents, kids are miserable stuck in their singles. [/quote]

So the school is offering things and the students just stay in their rooms instead? That's on them, not on the college. Yoga or outdoor movies may not be their thing but this is a time to try new stuff and not let "I want to do what I used to do" make them choose to be miserable.

And "I want to do what I used to do" is what's driving off-campus partying that is spiking Covid clusters and shutting down in-person classes.

The kids sitting in singles need to get some Jackbox games and play them remotely with friends at least.

I agree, but my kid wouldn’t go to this stuff last year and I don’t blame them this year. The problem is that half the kids come in knowing someone and quickly make a group of friends. The quieter kids who show up with no one are screwed. [/quote]

At state schools half the kids come in knowing someone. [/quote]
