[quote=Anonymous]So, my DD was supposed to move on campus at UMW.  Campus move-in date pushed back to 10 September.

She had reached out to roommate and now roommate just texted her to let her know that she was planning to get out of her housing contract (which UMW is allowing) and plans to rent an apartment near UMW and is asking my DD if she was planning anything like this - presumably to see if my DD might be interested and they could rent a 2 bedroom.

Ugg...on the one hand I'd much prefer (in a normal non-COVID environment) that DD be on campus - more security and socialization.  But if even freshman are moving off campus....DD will be alone in her dorm and now I'm getting the sense that the dorm/campus will be a ghost town. She will be miserable.

But being off campus as a freshman...even with a roommate....she'll need her car most likely (not a big issue as she has one). But I worry about her safety...the only good thing about it would be if campus does end up being shut down she wouldn't have to pack up and leave.

Options are:

(a) move on campus and be isolated....if/when campus shuts down or at Thanksgiving come home.
(b) have 1-year contract for off-campus apartment (her roommate is saying this would be cheaper but I'm not so sure)....and 1 year....so my kid doesn't come home for the summer?

F%$@ing COVID!!

DD doesn't know what to do....and neither do I at this point.
