UConn Fall reopening plan

I for one wont be taking any more than one class this semester. Granted I’m in a position to do so, but I can see this being very similar to last spring. Don’t know whos going to be left out here, but some students will be whether its housing, in person classes, services, etc.

I signed a lease for an apartment down in Columbia and now it looks like four of my five classes will be online this semester. So basically, I'm gonna be a college kid living with my friends with little to no responsibilities. Other than turning in online work of course :rolleyes:. Should be a fun semester!

I didn't say they wouldn't do that, just that it's not the intention.

Pretty poor job by the university here announcing this and not giving further explanation what's entailed in this 14-day on-campus quarantine period. Also, how would it apply to students who live off campus but interact with students on campus just the same?

Yeah I wasn’t saying you were. Just that you’d basically need to enact martial law to stop it from happening. Giving them two weeks of zero responsibility isn’t going to work unless you’re locking them in their rooms.

That’s smart because no one is coming to storrs for the summer as a tourist spot.

Nor would I want to spend my summer in Storrs. You are effectively pissing away 3 months of rent.

A lot of those apartment complexes are owned by reality groups that were overcharging students on monthly rents anyway. I dont feel bad for them.
 
In regards to the basketball calendar, I wonder if this means a late November start with on campus games behind closed doors or limited capacity. There would be no students so you can spread out the seating more. It may actually make more sense to get a good chuck of the season done before January when students return.

Already knew of some people that are looking to transfer since it appears they’re going to prioritize freshman and seniors for housing.

How do transfers fare in the housing prioritization coming in to a new school? If they don't get any priority, transferring for solely that reason seems foolish.

Well, to his defense, the WHO did report this week that those who are asymptomatic aren’t spreading most new infections. They did walk it back, however, just like everything else they’ve reported on. But I think that’s where he could be coming from...
 
So what happens with XL center games. I’m about to purchase them today? I’m assuming if fans get banned from the games this year we either get our money back or they roll the money over to next season ?
 
It may not be popular but if it gets the season going, just play the Nov/Dec games with no fans and make sure the games are televised or streamed somehow. Refund season ticket holders for those games and see where things are in early December for the conference games in Jan.

The entire area is overpriced. Including Tolland and Vernon
 
I got my son a 1 bedroom apartment in Evansville where he is going to grad school. He initially wanted to live in the dorms but with the uncertainty I felt he would just be better off without having to deal with anything or anyone else (and apartments are dirt cheap out there). He will be on campus July 12th. Started online today. Curious to see how this all plays out.
