Is anyone concerned about COVID-19 impacting social events and international programs in the next two years?
Posted from my mobile deviceGood question. I’ve thought about that too, especially since I want to take advantage of some international programs. If there is a future lockdown, there is some form of tradeoff going on between the “new normal” and putting off grad school with the expectation things go back to what they were. Things are just really uncertain with how all this stuff will play out.
It also depends partly on how you value things and what you want. It’s at the same time also definitely not zero sum obviously since Sternies have a reputation as bring smart and resourceful, so finding ways to still connect are a given. I hear there’s still stuff going on, albeit digitally. That’s also why I made that Facebook group, so we could still make friends
Personally, I will be entering for the Fall because I want to move forward and I’ve already gotten the opportunity to talk to some really great people, so I feel moving forward is for the best for me in my particular situation.
