[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many colleges are exclusively online? [/quote]

I may have some school’s plans wrong. I’m not looking up every plan and plans are evolving. Bit I’ve been following because I have a college freshman.

Lots of Big State Us are teaching 100% online, but inviting some or all student back to campus. I think Michigan just announced this.

Many state Us are putting large electives on line, but having recitations in person.  Purdue is doing this.

Many State Us are only letting limited students who must do hands on meet in person— sciences labs and hands on fine arts. If you major in politics, you will likely be entirely online in these schools.  But many of the students at these school can live online.  can live on campus.

At the flagship school for RI, you only get housing if you are OOS. In state is on their own for housing.  Mix of on online and in person.

Harvard is letting freshmen come on campus  in the fall and Seniors in the spring, but all classes on line. I think Princeton is also all online, tuition discount given. Yale is looking at getting everyone on in person.

Last I saw, UCs are moving to all classes online except specialties like nursing practicals and some senior lab students. The parallel CA State U system is online, most kids not welcome to live on campus.

SLACs are trying hard to get kids back and in live classes, but getting creative to get kids into single room and planning to test aggressively..  But some are only inviting a limited number of kids back (e.g. freshmen, seniors and lab sciences).  Some are only inviting one class of kids at a time for short periods, like Grinnell.    Some, like Oberlin, are moving to a trimester system (Freshmen and seniors in fall and spring. Sophomores in fall And summer.  Juniors in spring and summer), single rooms, lots of testing and 90% of classes in person or hybrid.

Since SLACs are such a small percent of students, most  students will learn 100% online, even if they live on campus. Some will get a class or two in person.  A few— mostly in SLACs, are scheduled to get at least one semester with the majority of teaching online. But that could change at anytime, as it did in the spring. What then, deport students partway through.

It runs the gamit. And colleges in FL, AZ, etc may be saying everyone can come back, but that may not be realistic.

But what happen if and when a student who finds a college with in person classes has to go online because COVID spikes?  The kid gets deported mid semester?[/quote]

Single rooms (so no roommates), online classes, grab and go food, and no activities. Sounds like a joy! Totally willing to pay $25-75k/yr for that! [/quote]
