Syracuse University quarantine: 23 hours in a dorm with no AC, card games with your ‘family unit’

What's going on at the colleges in your area?

It is my fantasy that in a 3-4 years recruiters will only recruit those students who started out at a community college this year on the theory that any freshman who went away to college in 2020 and put up with this sort of crap is too stupid to take a chance on hiring.

Sounds very like some prison experiences.

[Sacajaweau]

ONLY 15 or 20 people??

[KC_Lion]

That is what you pay $40,000 a year for your kid to do right?

[Balding_Eagle]

Shouldn’t they be let out on the street because of the Chinese Virus threat?

Prisoners are.

Shutting down the Marxist indoctrination centers may be the best hope for saving America.

Syracuse = Guantanamo only with less freedoms

[Fiji Hill]

They’ll be let out if they say they’re going downtown to riot and loot.

15-20 people?

What kind of quarantine is this supposed to be?

[CheshireTheCat]

The kind that still allows for orgies?

Have a grandson under a more strict quarantine in an upstate NY university. He doesn’t get the hour off or the 15-20. Get’s to go to the lounge to pick up his two meals or morning snack. Nine days in.

[ConjunctionJunction]

Just everybody wear masks, I guess?

[CheshireTheCat]

Well, you know, they could play a game in which they wear masks over their entire face, have sex, and then have to guess who they had sex with.

I wonder how cuomo would like to live under those conditions.

Wrong. TUITION is 54k a year. When I graduated from HS, Syracuse had one of the highest tuitions in the country. It’s private, not part of SUNY. Only one person from my graduating class attended. Their father was a Dr.

My daughter is in the 2024 class at the U.S. Naval Academy. The class went thru a two week quarantine at school

[CheshireTheCat]

Congratulations on getting a child into a service academy.

I put service academies in a different category.

It’s worth the hassle of a quarantine going there.

[CheshireTheCat]

There are probably a few other instances in which this Syracuse-type quarantine is worth it, such as for a student who gets a huge scholarship to a good school with a top program in some obscure, but lucrative, major and who is absolutely committed to that major.

Two Saracuse students enjoy their hour out in the yard.

I should have said granddaughter, but thanks.
