She's terrified of getting it and adhering to all rules.

DS is at a state school with about 5,500 students. They are in week 4 with 4 cases since August 1 (staff and students).

Must not be testing or the state is covering it up.

Why? my kid is at a school with 4K kids in a low Covid area. They required a negative test before arrival. They had two positives at arrival and none since. Almost everyone lives on campus.

Agreed. My kids school is smaller, but they have only had 3 cases.

They have strict rules, rural location and no off campus housing.

+ 1 to all the post above (except the one claiming these specific schools "must not be testing" etc. Good grief.)

I've posted on this thread way earlier, but my DC also is at a smaller LAC (2,500) and their positive rate after almost four weeks is extremely low. Tested before coming onto campus and DC had a test the minute we drove onto campus, followed by two more in the first two weeks. Had yet another last week. Starting this month they'll move to testing all students every two weeks. It helps a LOT that--as you PPs above note too -- everyone lives ON campus. They are not allowed to leave campus at all this semester and there are no visitors allowed on campus. I am prepared if things blow up and cases increase, for sure. But it seems that smaller colleges with self-contained campuses that lack a "party off campus" situation are going to fare better for longer than larger schools.

My kid’s lac: kids sneak off for shopping trips, sneak in their hs friends, etc

Then plan for your kid to be back home soon. It's disheartening that students at that LAC are behaving so immaturely. The whole student body will pay the price.

And if your kid knows these things are going on, your kid should be reporting it, if he or she wants the college as a whole to succeed. Those who turn a blind eye are silently condoning the behavior.

Have a friend working at Univ of Richmond and has a son attending....all students on campus and hardly any positive cases reported. He is confident the university is “cooking the books” on the numbers they are reporting.
