@PhotographerMom New to this forum, late to the conversation. However, I was thinking the same thing all summer. And now, nearing the end of the first semester, we just received a survey from my daugters BS (Idyllwild Arts) asking
“does your child have concerns for returning for spring semester?”
"what do you see as obstacles for returning? Kids are leaving.
Majority of international students are from China. most didnt come back. Not a lot of big endowments.
They are struggling. It breaks my heart.
