[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hesitate to say who cares about the money,  but still...one week is not enough time to decide you don’t like something.  I would talk to your DS daily, go visit if needed, and most importantly, remind him he is not the only student that feels like this. [b]He needs to seek out another kids, who  are sitting alone in the dining hall, and say “Do you mind if I sit here?”[/b] Of course this is hard,  but at the end of 4 years, and your child gets a job in a new city, you can reference this time and it will give him confidence going forward. Good luck OP. [/quote]

NP. There is no “dining hall” this year. It’s clear none of you have freshmen this year. [/quote]

Even in  the few schools that having dining halls you can eat in currently, you can't approach a stranger and sit with them--you're restricted to your "pod" since eating is a time when you can't wear a mask.  If you don't gel with your pod, you have few options.  In the few schools that have F2F classes, you're 6 ft away from the next person and wearing masks.  It's unusually hard to get into a social groove in this situation because all the normal paths--which are in usual circumstances still a bit awkward-- are blocked.  [/quote]
