[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WPI is going back. All students. Mix of remote and in-person classes. You can do all remote if you choose. Took over hotels to make all dorms single with some double. Most sophomores, juniors, and seniors live off campus in apartments. Health fees doubled but Covid tests will be covered for all students.

Holy Cross, UVM, Williams, Middleburry, UMass, Purdue, Boston College, Colby BU, Northeastern, Bates all going back.

Purdue already has 1000 kids on campus. 3 tested positive are asymptomatic and self isolating.

Many of those colleges you mentioned are in MA which I think has a more realistic outlook compared to here.

Massachusetts stats:

However, the idea of all those students returning to the Boston area from all around the country in a month?   I don't think that will end well.  Thread here:

Most NE schools are going back, not just Mass. I think it is a great idea. Most of these college towns and businesses will go out of business permanently if they don’t. Most classes are still virtual. Strong orders are in place. I much rather the college kids get it while around each other than sitting home, heading out and going back and giving it to Mom and Dad. Grandma, etc..  You are just NOT a going to keep young 20 year olds home bound for another 6 months. We can already see that. They know they aren’t dying. It’s a sad reality.
