To slow the spread of COVID-19, college campuses reopening to students have prepared preventative measures such as mandatory masks and socially distanced classrooms. But despite these measures, experts say reopening colleges is too dangerous.
Jessica Sunderhaft, 19, a sophomore at Ohio State University, said that while she is enthusiastic about going back to campus, she was skeptical that students will follow health guidelines.
As a double major in strategic communications and film, the Ohio native said that although she understood the challenges of“I don’t want to be the reason someone gets sick,” she said.Victoria Hayden, 20, had trouble communicating with her professors and peers this past spring at Indiana University—Purdue University Indianapolis. This fall, the school is offering a mix of in-person and online instruction.

Some colleges have cut the semester short by forgoing breaks to prevent the virus’ transmission and ending classroom instruction by Thanksgiving. Others are staggering arrival dates or delaying the start of classes to September or October.
