[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first-year college student is at a selective SLAC; has been sick, called health center this morning and was tested for COVID within an hour. (Thankfully it was negative.)

A neighbor's first-year college student is at a large flagship often discussed on this board. Child was sick last week. Couldn't get test on campus. My neighbor had to find a CVS where the child could test, had the child Uber to the CVS, thankfully that test was also negative.

This isn't about snowflakes. This is about some college settings right now prioritizing all needs of the campus community, including rapid testing to contain COVID. This SLAC is fully in-person right now and it seems like they are taking active steps to maintain that opportunity.

ROI is important, but it isn't the only factor to consider when evaluating colleges.[/quote]

the devil's in the details, whatever you're trying to describe it's worth paying 50-75k per year, keep telling that to yourself in the mirror  :roll: [/quote]

Eh, ignore the jerk poster just above with the eye-roll, OP. Probably someone with a kid at some gargantuan school where they're letting the virus do its thing and just crossing their fingers that they don't have to make the difficult call on making students mask and distance again.

OP, I also have a student (upperclassman) at a SLAC. You're right that smaller settings are proving better at handling the pandemic. [/quote]
