D20 is almost halfway through her first year, living in a dorm trying to have a college experience. She is very close to deciding to stay home and be remote for the spring. There are very few in-person classes (and even fewer for spring than fall), club meetings are all on Zoom, it is very hard to meet people and she finds herself feeling lonely a lot of the time. What small amount of socializing happens usually ends up with students violating social distancing rules and being sent home.

I agree with @kelsmom. If things are different next year and it is financially feasible, live in the dorm. If Covid is still dictating what colleges and students do, stay home.
