We just got the notice that my daughters school is “welcoming” kids back to campus. However, 50% of classes will be delivered online, face masks required on campus and dining halls most likely all take out. Semester will also go to all online Nov 20. And room and board is still the same price.
So we called to get some clarification and were told that classes are being listed as in person but “delivery” will be 50% online. So if the class is Tues and Thursday, students would only go to class on Tuesdays.
‘Her school does not have classes on Fridays, so she would only be in class on Monday and Tuesday. She has already registered for her classes so she knows her schedule.
Her school also requires students live on campus if they are over 50 miles away for freshman and sophomore year. (Will be a sophomore.). But we live 51 miles away.
So now we are thinking she will commute (the one extra mile should not be a problem according to them) instead. The school said it will not affect any scholarship money she has so that is good at least.
None of us can see paying room and board for the year (about $!5,000) when dining hallls are only take out and classes will be only two days a week in class. What kind of college experience is that? The savings would be about $15,000 for the year.
Anyone else in the same boat and what is your student doing this fall?
