LOL...the tragedy of the poor students who have to go to Cornell.
Any where but Cornell - at least according to this board.
My MCPS Magnet grad with a 1590 and only 1 B, 4 years of a varisty sport was waitlisted. Good thing I do not take DCUM seriously or I would worry for his future.
Should have sent him to a less competitive school. He would probably have gotten in. Hard to stand out in the magnet crowd.

The last minute change is because they were under pressure to open despite the obvious. They could have made the decision months ago and y’all would have acted like fools then instead of now.
UNC Chapel Hill is fully open. There was a front page article in the Washington Post about it yesterday. Too lazy to post the link. Not sure why Penn can’t manage a limited opening if a public school with 30,000 students can do it
And the students are having parties already. So that's not really working out so well. Any school can open if they don't care that they will spread COVID and have to close by Thanksgiving.

It is probably the Penn professors who freaked out. Ivy League professors are incredibly elitist and entitled
And people who post about them are fat and their mothers dress them funny.
What other ridiculous generalizations can we pull out of our butts?

A lot of uppergrade students are locked into leases so doesn’t matter if their classes are all online, there is a sunk cost. Granted it is a drop compared to tuition ...

Why are you paying $80k a year for DL, you bloody fools?
It is 80k for schools where you can live in the residence hall but all your classes are online. Ask me how I know?
It sucks but not sure what to do as kid wants to go back and I don’t blame her. Not easy to be stuck at home with your family since March with nothing to do and nowhere to go. I love my family and we get along pretty well but I want to escape too
Well you let your kid go back. She had a choice. Just don’t pretend like that choice didn’t exist and then complain about the cost. I have no problem saying no to my kids, ever.
