[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks this is a list thread, not a debating the decisions thread![/quote]

The thread with discussion was locked so people are turning here. I agree that a list-only thread would be very useful but that ship sailed when the other thread was locked (not sure why).

[b]Would like to hear from parents what their kids' colleges are saying re: possibility of return to campus eventually this spring.[/b] I note that a PP said JHU was mentioning that it might resume campus classes depending on how things unfold. [/quote]

I'm the parent of West Virgnia student.

Spring break is next week.   We were notified last night that following spring break there will be an additional week without class, and following that (March 30) they will resume classes online.   Students were told to bring important stuff from their dorm rooms (computers, medication, clothing, etc.) but they did NOT indicate that students should completely pack up/move out of their dorm rooms.   In fact, they included a form to fill out if you wanted to remain in campus housing during spring break and after.  So I don't know if they expect this to last the rest of the semester or not.

FWIW, there have been no cases of Coronavirus in West Virginia (yet?)  but WVU has a lot of out of state students so I'm sure they were worried about students being exposed in their home state or while on vacation, and then returning to campus.[/quote]
