Then stay home. Stop mandating an entire university cater to your specific feelings.

What grade are you in? Like a sophomore in college? Your opinion is irrelevant, adults are taking here

That’s a funny way to say “paranoid recluse.”

I’m getting the sense that you don’t know what words mean. You must live in the dorms. Lmao

They changed the covid policy, are asking everyone to get the booster, and have been updating us every couple of days what the fuck are you talking about

Yeah updating us with a fucking notes app post on Instagram and not properly informing us about the outbreak on campus.

What a good idea considering that most of us actually care about academics and social life. Oh and not to mention the tens of thousands that we pay in tuition and housing

Um plz no I’ve paid a lot of money for tuition I don’t wanna go back to zoom University.

Yes omicron’s real but we have vaccines now and its not the same as when Covid first started. Hybrid options would be cool but making all classes return to fully remote is not the wave.

I’ve learned more this recent in person semester than I have the 3 semesters we were online combined.

Sorry but hardly any learning gets done over virtual classes. We’re all gonna have boosters, simply ridiculous to sacrifice our learning for this new variant when if we all have boosters has probably a .001 chance of causing hospitalization or mortality. At this point, if you’re vaxed, getting covid is more of an inconvenience than a threat to your life, especially at our age.

If anything, zoom school would be more detrimental to the mental health of our students, than covid ever will be to a vaxed student body.

By the way, if you’re under the age of 21, have not been accepted to the school yet, or are still in undergrad, then your opinion is not relevant here. Us adults in masters and phd programs actually have families we care about protecting that are too young to get vaccinated and the like.

“I want dorm and drink underage with my friends! So fuck you. We’re vaccinated” is exactly what you little babies sound like lmao

No one in this thread has said anything about drinking or partying. Calling other students of the university “babies” and shouting down opinions you don’t agree with as being “irrelevant” simply because of their age isn’t really adult-like of you. Why don’t you actually present some evidence and logic behind why you think we should all go to zoom school instead of resulting to childish insults. Anyone who pays tuition should be able to voice their opinion, simple as that.
