DD's large 30k student campus currently has 12 cases. That's higher than it's been for a while too. I'm sure the actual numbers are under reported, but it's still a good indication when compared with numbers in the fall. Students are obligated to inform the university if the have a positive test, and even so, only about 10% of the population have been positive since this started in August.DD19 had about half and half for fall semester between in-person, online, hybrid. They had the big spike (189 reported cases) two weeks into school and a smaller bump in November, when all our state/their state were having their biggest numbers.
Since returning in January, the reported cases have been single digit. DD is 100% in person. I imagine a lot of the big gen eds are still online but she is mostly taking smaller classes.
The school is not doing regular testing but I do not believe it is running rampant with unreported cases either. None of her friends have had it, except one who had it while home at Christmas.
She is off campus but I don't think they had horrible restrictions for the dorms either. I'm very happy with how her experience has been.
