Good for Northeastern. Massachusetts didn’t shut down so Logan airport could open up and let the students come in to party.

Rules are rules. If you don’t like them don’t come to campus![/quote]

+1. This is the only way residential colleges stay open. If you don’t like it, your kid is free to go to UNC, JMU, Ohio State, Alabama, Auburn, USC, UGA— where there are no rules enforced.

Residential colleges can succeed in COVID.  But only if all the kids are required to follow all the time and the colleges strictly enforce it. No fun?  Yep?  Boring?   Yep. I don’t know who promised your kid a perfect college experience in a pandemic. But it doesn’t exist.  Its follow the rules— to the letter.  Rules  be damned and home in 3 weeks. Or remote learning.  I’m sorry you are just now figuring out what the rest of us wrestled with and discussed with our kids and agonized over in June and July.

I wrote a $26,000 check for fall semester. And I would be livid if my kids campus went on lockdown like Note Dame or Gettysburg and he lost access to in person instructor or worse, they had 1000 cases and got sent home because your kid was too bored to follow the rules.  And ruined it for all the kids that did.

Rules are boring. A pandemic sucks. But, here we are.   [/quote]
