[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t students socially distance and try to keep to themselves for two weeks on arrival. Then they should stay on campus and not roam around outside. Assuming they catch positive cases early, the campus should be relatively well protected. Although I guess faculty and workers could bring the virus in from outside. This model may work for small SLACs where students all live on campus [/quote]

They should socially distance and wear masks when in groups and inside. But they should actually spend lots of time outside since the virus is less catchy outdoors. Maybe even some classes or study groups could happen outside and meals could be outside. Under tents even ...just a thought. Since the weather should still be nice the first two months .....[/quote]

Stanford, UCLA and USC are all talking about using tents for classrooms and other purposes. Schools in mild climates have an advantage there. Not sure how well that works in places that have actual winters.

I think some living arrangements would have to change -- frat and sorority houses? No way.[/quote]
