Re: "I have a question, De ... I'm reading about these universities that are shutting down for the rest of the semester and holding the classes online. Apparently, some of them are ejecting on-campus students from their dorms. What happens to the amounts that these students (or more likely, their parents) have already paid for their housing and food plans - are these universities going to refund those amounts? "
There's no word on that yet. The letter that we received says that students are strongly encouraged to stay home if that's where they already are, or to return to the campus if they must and leave for home by the following weekend. The few students who live on grounds and who cannot return home - perhaps because it is not safe to do so - will be allowed to stay and an alternate food plan will be made available to them.

There's nothing good about this. On-line education is decidedly inferior in our opinion to what we signed up for, but I'm sure the tuition isn't going to be refunded.
