[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't think we'd survive DS applying to schools, that was a tough one with him and his extreme procrastination.  But now with decisions coming in, and just chatting with him about which school he can see himself going to, he has so little enthusiasm.  When I talk to him about it, he's very down about the possibility of COVID-related distance learning continuing in colleges.  He's talked with friends who are college freshmen this year who have told him how boring it's been.  Either stuck in dorm rooms taking classes virtually, or back with Mom and Dad taking classes virtually.  Few sports, no parties, no fun.

I've tried to encourage him by saying we'll know a lot more about the direction everything's going by the May 1 deadline, but I find as the calendar goes by quickly, I'm not sure if even I'm believing that.  And he'll say why pay all of that money for a year of virtual classes, maybe he should just do community college.  Or choose the lowest cost college he's been accepted to, even though he isn't very excited about it, and they've dropped a possible major he's interested in.

I was curious what others are thinking about the Fall 2021 year of college?[/quote]

My kid has several options, and I suspect that DC will be leaning towards a school that has had in-person learning this year and may continue in the fall. The schools that were all online this year and no chance to visit have fallen swiftly to the bottom of their list. I actually feel really bad for the Class of '20 seniors who spent this year all remote at home - that had to be very disappointing to kids wanting the independence and new start at college. Hoping things will be better for this year's seniors come fall.
