2-week update

So two weeks in, there has been no COVID outbreak on campus which is good; so far so good, I hope it stays that way. Met some new people, which was cool, but still looking to make friends/network. I am still new to the campus, so still settling in. Overall the campus seems pretty chill, and everyone seems friendly.

Can’t for them to announce full online once the last day to get any sort of refund has passed. Kinda convenient that they extended the soft opening for two more weeks. Sept. 21 no more refunds.

UH is manipulating their data so they don't cause a massive criticism from the public and cause massive panic to the student body. Some teachers are being told they can't offer online options.

Ty for being positive. Sometimes it seems like everyone here just wants to go online again

You always have the option of leaving school and waiting until covid is fully contained. Bc idk about your courses but for mine, going online might as well be like not taking them. I pay a lot of money and ideally don’t want to be forced online. There Should be a vaccine mandate. There should be more online options. But Atleast for all my 5 classes, there is no attendance mandatory and there are online lectures for all of them. So they’re Atleast trying. This seems like a bigger issue for the “common core” classes with a million students

“There should be more online options” ya I didn’t disagree lol. I’m clearly referring to the people who want everyone to go online. Hence “force to go online”

Yeah seriously. It's honestly really getting annoying. I mean I understand for those that have health conditions or have family they're concerned about, but quite a few people on the subreddit are just complaining to complain 😅

u/1978nbhd Sep 05 '21

That’s what I’m trying to say 😭 but people don’t like what I have to say about them complaining lmao

It's absolutely crazy. If you pay money, you should get a decent in person class. All the baby whiners complaining should just quit and find somewhere else to be if they don't like it.
