OK So how does Nika get here?

[SVCBeercats]

This could be interedting with the current travel ban.

Definitely something to Muhl over...

[Charliebball]

I thought that ban was temporary...........for the next 30-60 days..........isn't she supposed to show up during the summer?

 

[oldude]

However long it lasts, Croatia is not one of the 26 countries currently listed in the US travel ban.

 

[Kaizen]

She can fly to England then fly to USA ...but be fast. Not too many countries are not in the list.

I have friend who has a friend who knows a guy that knows another guy that owns a boat that can "get people" to the United States through Canada...Does that help?

More importantly, if students are asked to move off campus, will Anna be able to easily get back home?

I’m sure they have places for students who cannot get home.

The way Anna passes the ball, she’ll have 5 returning Husky teammates who would all be happy to put her up in their house until the start of next season....:

It doesn’t make it suck any less for her.

Anna spent Thanksgiving with Molly's family and was with Molly having dinner at the Mohegan Sun on Saturday night. I'm sure the Bent family would take care of Anna.

The announcement by UConn outlining telecommuting also specifies that those residential students who are not able to return home will receive accommodations through Student Housing/Residential Life. I assume that means foreign students like Anna. Although I agree with Milford that she will probably stay with Molly until the end of the semester.

With the steam rolling toilet paper crisis this is what we worry about?

GroanI wish I was quick enough to think of it.

On the flipside will her parents want her to fly here? Recycled air isn't the best in best of times.

You do know in the near past the FBI have watched this board?

Geno's house? Maybe Geno's mother will "adopt" Ania not unlike Svet.

Just eat less.

Planes recycle fresh air 20/30 times per hour, about the same as hospital air handling systems.

I’m less concerned about the end of the semester and more about what happens if it doesn’t clear up by summer. I went to college about 1,800 miles away from home and had a few really close friends whose families became like my own, but there wasn’t anything like resetting at home every Christmas and summer. I can only imagine how much more important that would be for me if I would have been in a different country. Think about how she was able to get into better headspace after just a few days home at Christmas.

At the very least, Ola is here and they can spend time together if they can’t make it back to Poland.

ETA: I know she won’t be destitute.

For 6 years Anna lived away from home in a sports intensive school. That's not to say that she lacked the ability to go home on breaks. It is my hope that she'll spend a lot of the summer working out on campus and I am going to be an optimist an say the shut down will be over by summer.

 

[hoopsfan22]

I imagine Nika will get here by plane. Just like Paige. Is there some other mode of transportation that would be more practical?

 

[maddoggy]

I haven't seen anything definitive, but I doubt that getting on a plane in the UK would help much if one were travelling on a passport from a blacklisted country. [ ]
