Notes From Quarantine

Jeongyoon Han and Arjun Pothuri
October 15, 2020
This year’s move-in for the 1,455 College students who returned to campus was no ordinary one. For some, it was their first time moving in, for others, their last, but all arrived to a changed campus. Once here, students were required to quarantine in their rooms until they cleared two COVID-19 tests. Three seniors shared their experiences as they spent time in isolation, reflecting on having their last college move-in occur during a public health crisis.
