I think most colleges are planning to open in the fall. At this point at least.

One issue is this: the “Karens” prefer to shelter in place for a long time, but on the other hand don’t want to pay $60K a year tuition for their children to attend online schools in the fall. I think online college classes are typically about $300 per class.

There may be some interesting changes ahead for colleges.

From what I've been told, my alma mater (Gonzaga) is planning on reopening in early September, as usual. It would not have been a problem when I was a student there, and the undergrad population was around 2000. Most of my classes had less than 30 students, and I'll never forget a macroeconomics class that was brutal...there were 5 students in that class. The professor took no prisoners, and God help you if you answered a question incorrectly. LOL, one of the best classes I ever took.

Enrollment is now upwards of 6000 (about the size of Allen High School...ahem), in large part to the success of our men's basketball program. At the time our run started, the university's president, Fr. Bob Spitzer, saw the marketing potential. Under his guidance, the school's endowment went from virtually zero to $150 million, and several new buildings were funded by donors.

Based on my experiences, the school has maintained much of the same family type atmosphere as when I attended. It's a very close knit community. My problem was I enjoyed the "Gonzaga Experience" a bit too much...lol.

Cal State colleges even in counties/cities with minimal CV cases are still playing the waiting game.

Big East colleges are big ? marks, of course if your campuses are in or near NJ/NY, you might have reason to quiver and quake re to reopen or not!
