Which University has the most normal environment right now (in person classes, open dorms, sports...)?

Iowa State.

Iowa was already hit relatively hard by COVID (ranked 16th State for death per capita), so it’s probably a good place to push the envelop.

It will be interesting to see the results.

Do they have sports? Will they be competing against other schools in the area?

If their test is successful, I expect enrolment to increase next year. I know that I would prefer to pay fees to a school that is actually open.

The next 30 to 60 days will be interesting. If they pass that with less than say 3 or 4 COVID deaths, then they can rank that as a success (in my mind).

What happened with the Liberty University situation? Did there end up being a campus of super-spreaders and tons of dead people? That's what the media told me that would happen.

Iowa is 26th in deaths per capita at 33 per 100,000. Iowa has no mask mandate and has been wide open for several months. Iowa is the only state that has high school sports in the summer so it is the only state that has has had high sports over the past few months. Yet, the state is performing better than 1/2 of the states.

Iowa State is in the Big 12. They play sports all over the country and they plan to this fall.

Enrollment can't increase. Nearly every college rejects some applicants to remain at a pre-established number.

Liberty

University of Phoenix has barely changed at all through all this—I suggest you enroll.

Boston college

Do the students wear mask in class?

Yes. I assume they do at almost every college.

University of Rochester has all sports going and in person classes started today. Day 1 of move in saw 5 positive tests that were subsequently quarantined off campus with no further positives in the next 4000+ tests. Masks on during classes and at the start of practice, on rests, etc. Small staggered groups to start with full team practices resuming at the end of two weeks. Random 300 person tests each week across the campus.

U of R does not have "all sports going on"

I have 3 friends with kids who just Entered freshman class at U of R last week and most activities have been curtailed already. No in person club activities at all, for example

I'm going to Uni this year (as a mature student) we are operating as usual, only difference is the night clubs will be closed.

Those are the only things open at American universities!

Seoul National University would be way up there. Don't know much about the quality of their sports programs.

This is just not true. No idea why you’d lie about this.

Yeah, I just made it up because I felt like it. Im hardly likely to give you the names of the students I know who are there right now, and who have reported substantial limitations on activities, am I?

However, I can assure you that sports are NOT "all going on "

You can call me a liar if you like and I'm just going to say GFY, you are wrong

Which sports?
