Good for Northeastern. Massachusetts didn’t shut down so Logan airport could open up and let the students come in to party.

They expelled th for a gathering of 11 off campus?? Freaking insane. I would be irate.

Rules are rules. If you don’t like them don’t come to campus!

+1. This is the only way residential colleges stay open. If you don’t like it, your kid is free to go to UNC, JMU, Ohio State, Alabama, Auburn, USC, UGA— where there are no rules enforced.

Residential colleges can succeed in COVID. But only if all the kids are required to follow all the time and the colleges strictly enforce it. No fun? Yep? Boring? Yep. I don’t know who promised your kid a perfect college experience in a pandemic. But it doesn’t exist. Its follow the rules— to the letter. Rules be damned and home in 3 weeks. Or remote learning. I’m sorry you are just now figuring out what the rest of us wrestled with and discussed with our kids and agonized over in June and July.

I wrote a $26,000 check for fall semester. And I would be livid if my kids campus went on lockdown like Note Dame or Gettysburg and he lost access to in person instructor or worse, they had 1000 cases and got sent home because your kid was too bored to follow the rules. And ruined it for all the kids that did.

Rules are boring. A pandemic sucks. But, here we are.

This. Students are adults. They all had to sign saying they would follow the rules, and they didn’t, so they are facing the outlined consequences. I am glad to see someone actually enforcing the rules they set out.

Wow just wow.

What does this have to do with the OP?

Huh? It’s a tweet about the 11 students who were kicked out of Northeastern. The OP was about those students. Those students were probably bored out of their damn minds.

No one forced to attend this year. They signed several agreements to uphold the social distancing policy. There’s no excuse for their behavior whether they are bored or not.

Oh I’m not defending them at all. I just can’t believe someone paid nearly 40k to “study abroad” at a hotel in Boston during a pandemic. My comment stands, they were probably bored out of their damn minds. But it should have continued... so they made bad decisions and are now suffering the deserved consequences.

Those hotels are probably nicer than the dorms.

That’s nuts. I’d never. Love the school that loves you back.

Everyone gets a single plus own bathroom and weekly housecleaning. As a college student, I’d love this.

Even if all this is true, good for NE. Until kids see consequences, they will keep partying.
