Penn State (where I am) Is about to resume dorm (and off campus) living.
They've only instituted staged (rolling waves) of dropping kids off/moving in rules. Instruction is to be mixed - live and virtual.

Even though much/most of the town depends economically on the university (and FOOTBALL!!) on the ground, all the regular residents are dreading the reopening. We're fearing a major surge in cases. Up to now we've been pretty much spared.

But fraternities!?! And again, football!?!

PSU's (justified) reputation as a party school makes it all the scarier. Since when did college undergrads around here exhibet restraint?
It's oddly difficult to get specifics about the logistics of what's coming, but I was unnerved to see online plenty of dorm floorplans, including doubles and triples. Hopefully they were old plans, but they came up first in Google searches.

I've had my life minimally affected til now (except for all the ZOOM stuff replacing live meetings). Now...? All bets are off. OK, Boomer! Your time has come.

And to make it personal...All this will be especially true of the cold months coming. It will be hard (for me, impossible) to walk outdoors then, and to count on nice socially distanced shopping, etc. And the increased nonchalance already abounding! As illustrated by more and more sloppy bandannas and masks slipping down noses. That is, even among middle-aged civilians.

Worse too that we only have this dinky small town hospital to rely on - right when it's become clear how much facilities factor in survival! Then too - for me - I live alone, and neither son (on whom I depend) can come. CA son can't fly in and MA son has just become subject to new rules mandating draconian quarantine if he visits any but a handful of "safe" states. PA is NOT one of them even now, and as to what's coming! To our little "Happy Valley" of Centre County especially.

Urg.

I can't imagine colleges opening up right now, and I wouldn't expect them to be open for very long.

Time will tell.

How many kids die before they shut it all down?

The Big Ten, of which Penn State is a part, canceled its football season.

Penn State is making rumblings about trying to cobble together a schedule. However, the other Power 5 conferences that haven't canceled are playing all but one game intraconference, so Penn State will struggle to find decent opponents.
