[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Off campus better for Covid times. Less virus spread and she can stay there when they close the dorms down for Covid. Or if they quarantine dorms she won’t be trapped. [/quote]

:shock: 
Are you utterly oblivious to the term "community spread"? Off campus students bring the virus into the community and the community spreads it to off-campus students.

Best scenario is a college where nearly all students live on campus, there is frequent asymptomatic testing, and the college prohibits students from leaving campus all semester (and enforces that prohibition with suspensions or expulsions for students caught violating it). This is what my DC's college is doing. But only small and self-contained colleges without a culture of off-campus living (and off-campus partying and barhopping) can attempt that level of isolating.

Before some misery-guts leaps in to say "how awful"--no, it's not. DC and friends know that staying at college depends on all of them masking etc. seriously. They are socializing plenty but following the rules. Organizations etc. meet over Zoom or outdoors masked. No student wants to be the one who had the party that ends up getting the college closed down due to a virus cluster. They prefer being there to going home so they are trying (most of them) to earn their campus life by acting responsibly. I think all this is infinitely harder at universities with big student populations and many or most students living off campus. [/quote]
Ths is thinking, colleges are not super spreaders? It is the incoming students that are brining it? Are you imagining a college that is a prison? Prohibits students from leavning campus? What like a concentration camp?[/quote]

Don’t dare compare it to a concentration camp. People didn’t CHOOSE to go to concentration camps. If you don’t like the restrictions take daddy’s tuition money and go home ✌️[/quote]
