I don't know! We live in Europe and he's with us for the summer. He has to go to the US for school in the fall if campus is open. I kind of hope it is DL because he won't be able to come back to us unless things change dramatically. I hate the thought of him spending Christmas alone in America or as the tolerated guest in someone else's home.

I wouldn't be packing much for your student in case they close the dorms, and they have to come back.

Bear in mind that fatigue is a major cause of crashes.

Better to stay in a hotel then drive when you are drained and exhausted

Funny how different elements of this scare some of us more than others.

Thanks everyone. This is the OP.

We will drive the thousand miles and leave her with the car, rent one and drive home.

We are lucky to have flexible jobs.

We're not. Taking a semester off, possibly a year if needed. DC is a rising senior.

Flying (2.5 hours). Least of my worries.

I will do the six-hour each way round-trip in one day, or I will stay overnight at a hotel and leave for home early the next morning.

In the alternative, we are thinking about lending one of our cars to DC to keep at school from September to November, since I'm WFH indefinitely.

We'll be flying and quarantining for 14 days per the country's requirements. I will then help DC move in and go home. We already have the flight and AirBnB booked.

UCLA so we're flying.

Oldest - Drive 8 hours drop, hotel for night, drive home next day
Youngest - I will drive up a day or 2 before (because we never visited and have never been there), move in, drive home also 8 hours.

Have to fly — CA! It’s the part I worry about most when considering re-opening of college.

We will do the 16 hours round trip in a day...

I am going to drive them to schools and crash at a motel somewhere a few hours on the way back.

Only weigh in if the round trip cannot be done in a day.

Thanks for your input.
