[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zoom parties and masked, socially distanced outdoor gatherings just aren't college. Check out the footage from Tuscaloosa after the national championship. game. That's what a college experience should look like. Roll Tide![/quote]

You don’t get to decide what college “should” look like. It depends on your kid’s personality and that they want out of college.  Small in person classes, picnic dinners with friends, hiking and kayaking with friends worked very well for my kid. He had a great fall as a freshman, despite masks and social distance.  He did not want frats and big time sports and huge classes.  Introverts are dealing well with COViD restricts because they don’t want to be in crowds amd constantly socializing.  Hanging out with a couple of friends is more their speed.

Also...grow up. There is a worldwide pandemic killing hundreds of thousands of people, which might mean your tailgate party will be temporarily disrupted.[/quote]

I'll grow up when you grow a pair. The "worldwide pandemic" you speak of is statistically less dangerous to college kids than the seasonal flu. Steer your kid to some highly restrictive campus if you want, but don't be surprised if they resent you when they're 50 and looking back on the college experience they never got to have. It'll take a lot more than a virus for me to prevent my kid from missing out on the best four years of his life. Roll Tide.[/quote]
