\"studentsAdapting to the changes caused by COVID-19 has been frustrating for many college students, but there has to be a way to remain both safe and sane. With all of the changes being implemented, the safety of students, faculty and staff should be the number one priority. as so many of us continue to partake of in-person learning.<\/p>\n

According to this ongoing survey<\/a> being conducted by the New York Times<\/em>, there has been a rapid increase in reported cases since students have returned to campus.<\/p>\n

There is an expectation that students must always keep their distance and wear a face mask\u2026but is that realistic?<\/p>\n

Holding on to tradition<\/h3>\n

\"maleWhen young adults go off to college, there is common expectation that they will sleep less and party more. While this may not be the college experience of all, it has shown itself to be true with many students. This is a \u201ctradition\u201d and expectation that has carried on for years. For some, this is a rite of passage. The idea of social distancing and neglecting the usual social activities, can be extremely challenging for college students during this time.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.Dr. James Walsh<\/a>, professor in The Chicago School\u2019s School Psychology Program<\/a> explains, \u201cSocial distancing on college campuses is not impossible, but it is not easy. Human beings are naturally social people and we like to be close to the people we are talking to. This is especially true for parties and large social events. {It} requires being thoughtful about where you go \u2013 you \u00a0have to plan ahead to figure out how to socialize safely.\u201d<\/p>\n

What can you do?<\/h3>\n

Continuing in-person learning means being vigilant with safety guidelines \u2013 for both the institutions and their staff and students. I believe that colleges that have opted for virtual learning may also benefit from having a plan in place. Having a plan will allow students to still have the opportunity to have a high level of engagement with their peers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important thing to do for COVID safety is to wear a mask and to hang out with other people who wear a mask.\u00a0 It also helps to hang out with small groups of people and to keep your distance from each other.\u00a0 If you are indoors with others, it is recommended that you keep windows open so that there is good ventilation.\u00a0 Try to socialize only with other people who do these things as well!\u201d advises Dr. Walsh.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No matter the decision, it is evident that COVID is changing the college experience for many. Although everyone is still adjusting, the changes that are happening could be necessary for securing a better future for all.<\/p>\n
