[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is horrible from the University of Iowa.

The college was unprepared but the student sounds clueless and whiny. [/quote]

I’m not seeing clueless or whiny here. She followed all the rules, got herself packed and to her new spot, didn’t ask mom to intervene, and decided when enough was enough. For 18 years old newly away from home that’s not bad.[/quote]

She took a bus?!? [/quote]

When your life is at stake, you gotta do what ya gotta do. Good for her.[/quote]

I hope you are joking. Ants are not life and death. Good God. She should be fined for riding that bus.[/quote]

The sad part of this story is that this sick girl felt she had no alternatives.  She pretty much didn't, since she was barely being fed and kept in an unsanitary room.  I am not sure what her other options were.

She would have been fin if they hadn't made her leave her room.

When people have a fever of 101, where they should be is home, in their bed, and with someone to drop off some gingerale and chicken soup.  Most college kids would be fine recuperating in their own bedrooms on campus.   It's the fact that she had a roommate that meant they needed to move her.  Asking an 18 year old living away from home for probably the first time with a high fever to carry all her belongings for 2 weeks herself to an empty dirty dorm, when everyone is refusing to come near her or help her becuase she has a terrible infectious disease, is really mean.

I wish all the "it's just the flu bro" people posting here would volunteer to help these kids on campus -- since residential life is too scared to go in and help her pack up her things and transport them, can't some people who just don't think COVID is a big deal volunteer to help on campus?  You could help provide basic nursing care to the students living away from home, bring them meals and such which res life isn't willing to do?  That would help kids stay on campus.[/quote]
