I don't know where you went to school, but where I went we signed leases 8-12 months before move-in for the next academic year . . . if I hadn't graduated, I'd still be living by my campus. Though, whether or not colleges and universities re-open and people live by their campuses, people will party. Whether they're away at school or at home, if anything, with the time saved from not commuting to class, being in class, or having assignments/tests/exams (I did half my degree online, it is NOT the same level of effort, work, or time) they'll have more time for socializing. Or the students will be in the workplace, probably precarious or more high-risk work environments, where the risk of exposure is equal if not greater. You did your degree in psychology, what are the long-term affects of idleness and lack of social exposure for elementary, high school, and secondary school aged kids? There is safety in structure, and that's what schools offer, structure. What will parents who have to work do with their schoolaged children - send them to daycare? Leave them with older relatives? I see a lot of potential problems with re-opening schools being pointed out, and I understand that there are risks, but you offer no alternatives. Great, schools shouldn't open in the fall - then what?
