[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a professor at UMd.  Teachervone vlass this semester that is on Tues and Thurs evenings at 7.

He planned on teaching but university shut down dorms at 7 pm. Rather than asking kids to bring luggage etc to class, and try to leave from there at 830, he cancelled.

They shut down the dorms for Thanksgiving and kicked everyone out?  Is every student there within driving distance? [/quote]

I was wondering the same thing.  Do the colleges actually kick the kids out for a 4 day weekend?  [/quote]

My college kept dorms open for Thanksgiving and Easter, but there was no meal service. This sucked if you had no family to go home to or you lived too far away/lacked the funds to travel. Res Life always made sure international students were hosted by local students or professors, but as a poor kid, I had to smuggle food out every year before Good Friday. [/quote]
These days, Uber Eats and other delivery services are shuttling food to college dorms every day. No one is up a creek without food over a break anymore.[/quote]

Are you intentionally obtuse? She said she was a poor college student - who had no money to go home, let alone eat out for every meal. Many poor kids have meals exclusively through the meal plans covered by a scholarship. There is very little extra money for discretionary spending. [/quote]
