Thoughts on Online School

“I’m not at all upset about not being able to have all in-person classes! To still be able to come to campus to at least have a lab in person and talk to other people in my classes has been a highlight because after months in quarantine I get to have real human interaction again in a school setting. Granted, I can’t wait for classes to go back to normal.”

“Even though I didn’t have any expectations, I’m really sad to not be able to experience normal campus activities. Still, I’ve been enjoying it, and during the weekends, CBU is always empty, so I normally go out of CBU and do different activities with my friends.”
