This week, the Ivy League institution announced it would allow only up to 40% of its nearly 6,800 undergraduates on campus in the fall, the vast majority of them freshmen, and that all classes would be held online. While students understand that campus life cannot return to normal, and that the coronavirus itself is in no way the fault of universities, Dumebi and more than a dozen of her peers expressed frustration at various aspects of the Harvard reopening plan. Some told us they are searching for cheap housing in the Midwest. Some are exploring a gap year. Some fear they will need to drop out of college completely. Many are organizing against what they perceive as the school’s lack of consideration for their basic needs. A spokeswoman for Harvard College said the school is committed to working with students through the financial aid office. The coronavirus has unraveled years of hard work and extracurricular hustle for all college students, including and especially those from low-income backgrounds. Life on Harvard’s campus was meant to offer students the possibility of forming relationships with well-connected peers and professors, a social environment that could multiply opportunities. Now, the experience has narrowed into what is possible through a computer screen.
