In response to Streamers
Aside from the sports aspect, I think the schools that have managed to deliver a more normalized college experience this year for the same money as those who have not have a significant academic recruiting advantage, at least for the near future. I know it would impact my thinking as a college student parent if I were considering that decision now.
As the parent of two high school senior boys, it has been a very challenging process. It has probably been even worse for my sons. We were only able to visit one campus in person, and that tour was strictly outdoors. So no sense of what the "student experience" is like, especially when, for the most part, at least a portion of the students are not even on campus and you can't spend any time with the ones who are there.
And really no way to assess at this point what it will be like come the fall. One thing is for sure--if things are pretty much status quo then for sure they will be enrolled in a SUNY school (which they might end up enrolling in anyways even if things get more "normal") because there is no way we are paying private college tuition if all learning will be online.
