A look at how the closing of UNC and Notre Dame is affecting the students who go there.
is an ongoing and ever-changing one. Just weeks ago, the question on many college students' minds was whether their schools were going to offer in-person learning, online classes, or a hybrid of the two. Now, many students who were told they would be returning to campus to attend at least some of their classes in-person, are having those plans reversed—some after they’ve already moved into their dorms and started the semester.
Students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Notre Dame experienced this first hand this week. After their first week of classes on-campus, UNC reported that 177 people were in isolation after contracting the virus, while another 349 were in quarantine due to possible exposure.
"I think everybody was definitely anxious going in because there just wasn't a lot of communication throughout the summer," said Udhay Khullar, a junior at UNC."We were told it was OK to come back to campus and I think everybody had faith that the school had thought through what they were going to do."According to Udhay, though, it quickly became clear that wasn't the case.
"They were just trusting students to do their best and within the first weekend there were Snapchat stories of people at parties," Udhay continued."We knew at that point there was no way people were not catching [coronavirus]."
