Good thing the College I go actually cares about us because we just started by everyone (including the teachers) staying home.

Let’s let students pay for tuition and dorms then close right after opening, crooks

They don’t talk about long term effects

I guess I need to enroll in college to get tested.

Are these colleges going to give back the first semesters tuition as well?

it's not even a question of "if" regarding colleges closing. it's a "when" because students cant keep their masks on :/

"More colleges closing over worries of coronavirus on campus" thereby motivating us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to convince them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor, in hopes of stopping this pandemic so that all our students can safely resume their in-person classes at all our colleges here in the U.S.

"Closing over worries". For how long will we keep taking actions based on fear? Based on a flu that has a survival rate of 99%?

So they are closing? For how long? Forever? What benefit will there be? Eventually people will have to get back out there, Are we just going to let this drag on and on? I have yet to see any large scale benefit due to closing anything! As soon as people try to go back it just starts again! Will closing anything actually result in less infections overall! Not likely! The reason to close at first was to slow it down, not to stop it! You won't stop it, the point that that could have been done has past! Closing places has probably caused more harm than the virus itself ever would have!

People are so stupid... There was no reason to reopen so early

Just dropping a dislike.... tired of the inconsistency and can’t believe anything you report.
