 In a word, yes, your college will be open this fall. The question is: how open will it be?

If you are going to a college in Virginia, you will be entering a hybrid approach where some of the year will be in person (covid-19 permitting) and some will be virtual. If you are planning to enter a college in South Carolina, you are likely to be attending college in person.

Considering a Virginia college or university? A deputy attorney general in Virginia is asserting that college administrators at colleges in Virginia do not have a duty to protect students from foreseeable harm.

For a while, at least, whenever someone mentions Penn State, people will think about the incident in the locker room instead of the academic programs and other reasons that Penn State is a fine university. The alleged unchecked abuse of children by a staff member will harm the reputation of the university for several years to come.
