[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the impact the COVID had on this cohort in terms of on-campus experience and how virtual classes and lack of social community bonding experiences could have affected a person's emotional bond to the school and the community.

Add to this lack of (or dampening of) ties to the other more traditional reasons mentioned, enough credits to leave early (AP, summer, overloaded at home schedule), save $, general grind of school....

Plus the idea that this group is used to doing something different than had been done before...COVID mixed it up...there's no longer as strong of a message of "it's USUALLY done this way". [/quote]

What an ass.

PP I agree. My kid went to a big midwestern U and covid made the college experience bad. The school was overwhelmed in so many ways that the normal services were disrupted and made it even harder. It is such a large school that everything from the buses to cafeterias to advisors were a disaster. So many students had problems getting food - any food - that local parents were offering to cook an drop off casseroles etc on the campus. My kid had enough credits to finish a year early, didn't plan on it, but the problems became so unpleasant kid thought it was better to get out. [/quote]
