We get the situation is very fluid. In our case like many of the students decisions had to be made about apartments and rentals. We had to renew his lease 1 July. Had he known I'm not sure he would have return until January. He is in class 5 hours. The rest (16 hours) are online. All his buds have similar schedules. He'll know more once he meets with his professors and he expects it to be a real ****show.
On a separate note his buds who are juniors and on campus got screwed as it is. The school assigned all the juniors to Mahoney not the new dorms. Needless to say they are a little salty. I am sure the faculty had a big say in the in person schedule. In any case, the athletes will be fine and much better off than the general student population.
I understand the lease situation. That's actually why I called the director of my son's program. He moved out of his apartment in Modera after finals and we had to sign the lease at that time - July15th - for August 1. Usually by July 15th UM wants your money...... This year, no schedule or bill....
I wondered how the new dorms were assigned. I assumed some sort of lottery system by seniority after the athletes were assigned whatever space they were getting. Mahoney is on the renovation list eventually - and it really needs it My daughter lived in Mahoney during the 2013-2014 school year and constantly had respiratory issues from the archaic ventilation/air conditioning system. I wish them luck...
