How Coronavirus Changed College Overnight

[@elizabethbanks2074]

I’m a senior at a state college and this definitely isn’t my experience. My professors don’t even know how to operate Zoom, so they’re making PowerPoint presentations and sending them to us in lieu of lectures. There will be no graduation ceremony this year. Internships are cancelled. I’ve worked hard for six (very long) years to get my Bachelors, and this is what I get: a diploma in the mail, professors that aren’t teaching, and no ceremony to celebrate the hard work and resilience of myself and my classmates. This sucks.

[@christy-alyjean3902]

@Elizabeth Banks, I feel your disappointment and frustration. It took me ten years to complete my Bachelors degree through a state college; first generation college student. I attended college on and off for the past decade while I worked multiple jobs the majority of the time. The traditional college graduation is a daydream at this present time. Stay healthy and hopeful.

the group of students and faculty interviewed for this video is not at all representative of the total student population in this country. only high end private schools with a very homogeneous student population. no participation from students from state universities. I find this to be a disservice to everyone.

[@TheMasterFro]

Exactly, not everyone has internet/reliable internet back at home. Some students might not even have a computer to work on. A few of my professors have addressed this and offered to send assignments/lecture notes/exams via the mail, these closures are far greater than a mild inconvenience.

[@Ali-zj4hf]

Agreed. Despite that us as college students are all going through this together, those who are in high up colleges seemed to be in better places than most of us. Myself for example is going to a technical college then I’m transferring to a university this coming fall but with all of this crap going on I don’t know how it’ll impact that as the school I’m transferring to is about $60,000 for four years but if it’s gonna have to be online I think they should lower tuition for everyone especially those who are from out of state as we didn’t ask for this and all colleges should understand that we are paying them for a quality education when in reality we are only receiving none with this pandemic going on.

Don’t quite understand the reason why this video focuses on schools like Harvard, Stanford, Davidson, NYU, or other schools when the majority of students that are affected by this are not in these schools (14 million college students in public schools vs 5 million college students in private schools). What does this mean for state colleges? Community colleges? They don’t have the resources, funding, or reach as Harvard or other expensive private schools. And not to mention the burden on having to transfer courses from in-person to online will be much more of a struggle for the smaller, public schools than Harvard.

[@lulumagic8637]

Exactly!

[@dennisp8520]

Actually the smaller community colleges were already very well set up for this transition as many of them already offered all online courses for people that had to work normal jobs and go to school at night. Plus they get ample funding from the states and have lower operating costs compared to these big schools that spend millions for stadiums and tons of extra curriculars

[@beccag2758]

I'm actually in a community college, and thus far my experience has not indicated being well set off for this. I get we're not losing money in extracurriculars and sports or study abroads, but since it is for people with less income, we have students who were relying on campus computer labs hung out for dry now:( at my community college, the vast majority of classes are in person as well (it tends to act more as the stepping stone to a 4 year, as a way to save money) and online classes were never a thing for our science with labs or the art classes or even most of the foreign languages. I guess what I'm saying is, all students are having a rough time. Big or small college, public or private, this is just an extremely unfortunate situation to be in.

[@cap4081]

I wish one thing this video would have done is focus equally on private and public universities. Because as a student of the UNC System, what were facing is far different from what going on at privates like Davidson, Duke, or Campbell. For example what SGAs can spend money on for relief or how refunds can be given out are far different

The quality of online teaching has different aspects of it. It’s the video platform that the class is using and the quality of the tools the students are using like a good headset. These factors will impact their education.

[@cmac2295]

These are the same University and colleges saying that it would be special treatment to offer this for people who are differently able, single parents, people with hardships or people who work full time. I hope they give students back a refund for their expenses and I hope they offer this option in the future for those who want it.

[@Hellcat-to3yh]

As a current college student, this is a disaster for schools and students. I go to a major state college and many students I know at several universities are struggling to keep up their grades. It’s hard to focus on school when people are stressed, depressed, and many who have to work to make money during this economic hardship.

With one month left in the semester they assign me EVERYTHING! I'm just really glad I can take everything as pass/fail.

I've graduated already and many of my underclassmen when I was an upperclassmen are now seniors, I used to be an adviser to some of them and would tell them how great senior year would be, feel so bad when my college dropped the news that classes are now all moved online, all activities would be cancelled, and their graduation would be an online commencement watched from a laptop screen. Even saddening when I saw the tuition hike up out of nowhere to something in the $70k per year range and it's only been a few years since I graduated, only now to realize 1/3 of their school year and the services and education they paid for won't be delivered. No clue if they'll at least give a partial refund, early congrats, but so many feels for anyone who's a senior right now.

[@waytoocoolforme]

Theodore Julien everyone wants to skip the necessary part of education to help you develop the critical thinking, communication skills and jump straight into business, only to realize later on that there’s only a few that can really make it. I’m not saying don’t drop out, but drop out with a solid back up plan and a back up plan to your back up plan. Most businesses fail within their first 2 years, so you really need to have your contingency covered.

So Im a sophomore at a state college, and I was living in the on campus dorms. Before the quarantine, I had a job lined up for the summer on campus (which also provided summer housing, which i really needed because i dont have a home to go back to) and a 3.9 GPA for the semester. Now, my job offer got rescinded, my grades dropped because my professors dont know how to use zoom so I had to learn things like quantum mechanics on my own, and the dorms planned to move everyone out by the end of the semester, so i had to find a place to live. I ended up jobless and almost homeless, not to mention all of my professors piling on work at the end of the semester because they figured that everyone was just bored, not trying to survive.

[@everettlopez9127]

My community college has also moved online. The quality is astronomically lower. It’s just so hard to learn with two 45 minute videos a week + an article. Students doing hands-on trade programs and homeless students and students without stable internet access are getting hit really hard. I’m also going to be a transfer student at a UC this coming fall semester, but for me and other transfer students there’s no way to know if we are actually going to be able to move on to campus. It’s throwing my education off in so many ways that I never expected.
