Everything You Need To Know To Write About COVID-19 On Your College Campus

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.

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
