I think MANY colleges will not be having on campus activities (dorms, classes, etc) in the fall. Whether they will attempt a fall semester on line vs plan to push freshmen off until Spring has yet to be seen.
I'm not sure I'd send my 18 year old to ANY college campus yet..
However - have you had any contact since your acceptance letter? Try contacting NYU to see if they have any insight yet. (My guess is they don't, however.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
