Rising sophomore DC is very eager to go back. Nervous, very aware of the daily news about the virus, does not have head in the sand, and is concerned, but also really wanting to return. It makes a difference that DC's school is a small (but not tiny) LAC with a self-contained campus to which they want to confine all students, and they have extremely detailed plans that COULD work well IF all students get on board. A better shot than big schools. But I admit that I wish DC would at least think through pros and cons of doing classes remotely here at home, which is an option.

DC has been very, very much on board here at home and has not been out or seen anyone except via Zoom since March. No sneaking out etc. as you read about some teens and college age students doing. So DC takes this seriously here. We'll talk more about a [i]choice[/i] between distance and on-campus, but right now DC sees it as "I'm going back."

DC's friends at a couple of the very large state universities have said they're very worried about returning. They've told us they know their huge campuses that are throughout with the surrounding towns are not going to be able to use testing etc. the same way as DC's campus. [/quote]
