This is difficult on all of us, but these kids have to learn to buck up and accept reality. Staying home and doing correspondence courses from mommy's basement does not sound like a good idea to me.[/quote]

I think that attitude is really misguided and the  "mommy's basement" uncalled for.

Students didn't ask for this pandemic to happen.  It shut down their schools in March.  It is still going on, many places worse than before, so they have a right to be wondering why it's OK to be opening up dorms now when they had to be closed in March and April.

Why is it OK to be living in a dorm, when they can't meet in classrooms and when their professors and residential life employees want to telework and clearly don't want to be in the same room with any students?

I'm not criticizing students who do want to go back to campus, but to imply that they have some kind of failure to grow up and take risks isn't fair.

Yeah my kid who is scared to go back isn’t some shut-in (pre pandemic) [/quote]
