Going to college is stressful enough, but going to college in the time of coronavirus (COVID-19) is more stressful than ever. You're not just trying to pass classes or get that cute guy a couple of desks down to notice you, you're trying to avoid a virus! With this in mind, every university has different precautions set to help their students have a safe school year.
We are interested in hearing about your experiences with coronavirus while being a college student.
Here are five ways you can talk about your experiences:
Every university is different, but we want to know exactly what your school is doing, from mask mandates to data dashboards.
Did you get COVID-19 on your campus? Do you know a friend who was infected? Use this template to share what it was like.
Send out a survey to people on your campus to see how students feel about the precautions set in place for their safety.
Describe the testing process at your university — your classmates may want to know what it's really like before they make an appointment themselves!
Tell us how you really feel about the combination of college and COVID-19.
