No rebate has been offered by Michigan.  Actually, given her major, my daughter's probably better off than most students.  She can work, she has clinicals.

I think the very essence of college is being able to essentially do what you want and be surrounded by as many (or few) people as you choose to.  Sporting events, parties, hanging out in large groups, irresponsibility (within reason) all parts of the college experience that seem circumscribed by this.

It's certainly not the college experience her siblings had.

I don't think athletes coming and going as they please is something I'm scoffing at, rather it's something illustrative of the entire situation.  I feel terrible for my daughter who should be having the time of her life at one of the best colleges in the country. 
When did she transfer?

And I'm sure her response would have been something along the lines of "I'm shocked he could read your posts."

Shouldn't you/she be more of a team player combating COVID?

I'll wager she is doing more to combat it than you ever will. And wishing she had a typical college experience is not antithetical to doing her part.

That kind of question suggests that somebody in this conversation did not have a college experience at all.

My daughter hasn't "whined" once.  And considering her studies and job puts her in daily contact with people suffering from Covid, I think that's pretty admirable.

Kid you've been an early and strong voice re covid.

Unfortunately, you thought it a political hoax, nothing to be concerned about, and could not muster the courage nor had the common sense to admit to wearing a mask, for fear of showing some less than pure partisan politcal purpose.

A decent person might show some empathy, for students cheated out of the typical college experience, or parents concerned about their kids, but you just mock.

You're just a stupid asshole troll.

yank, I will say that your daughter is certainly having a different college experience than her siblings, but in the long run, it may turn out to be a far better experience for her and for others. 

Best of luck to her!

Misrepresenting others, then lashing out childlessly.

Rock on with it, Bank.
