With the United States at its highest peak since the pandemic began, I was curious as to how concerned students were about going home for the holidays and then returning back to campus. I made a short survey and posted it on my social media for fellow students to take. Here are their responses:
What university do you attend?
Student 1: Florida Gulf Coast University
Student 2: University of Tennessee (Knoxville)
Student 3: Florida Gulf Coast University
How will you be spending your Thanksgiving break?
Student 1: "With my immediate family"
Student 2: "With my immediate family and some other family members"
Student 3: "With my immediate family and some other family members"
On a scale of 0-10, with 0 being not concerned at all and 10 being very concerned, how concerned are you about getting Covid-19 or possibly spreading it to your family during Thanksgiving break?
Student 1: "2 - While I do work with the public on a daily basis, I have made sure to maintain social distancing standards, wear a mask, and have been getting tested on a semi-regular basis."
Student 2: "2 - I'm going to get tested before leaving, so I can keep my family safe."
Student 3: "5 - I have a high risk family."
On a scale of 0-10, with 0 being not concerned at all and 10 being very concerned, how concerned are you about returning to campus after Thanksgiving break?
Student 1: "8 - While I know that I am going to be remaining cautious, I know that not all students will have the same idea."
Student 2: "2 - Trusting that everyone in my family takes similar measures, there shouldn't be a problem."
Student 3: "10 - Traveling."
