4. I am wondering how the colleges are going to manage it

Since the students live, eat and go to classes together while they come from all over the country. I looked up my school awhile back and the plan is for them to live in sequestered groups, no visitors allowed. And whoever brings them is only allowed to stay for as long as it takes for them to unload their stuff. I have no idea what they're going to do about classes, maintain "social distancing?" I've heard that the new "distance" has been expanded to 13 feet. And classes vary widely, I took a couple that only had 5 or 7 students, while there were others in a large auditorium. And my college was at the top of a hill in a very small town, will students also be prevented from going "into town?" Off campus living is also prohibited.

And this is New York. As we know, there's no national plan. I was recently talking to someone whose two teenagers are returning to college in Pennsylvania. It looks like each school is on its own when it comes to how they handle all this...
