428,620.
That is the number of *just freshmen* who moved to another state to attend college in 2018.
Why are we about to embark on a mass migration during a pandemic?

Another view of US college migration of freshmen (2018)--hundreds of thousands of students are being asked to move during a pandemic...often to attend class online.

Every single one of these universities is currently planning to have students return to campus, whether their courses are in-person, online, or hybrid.

This mass migration during a pandemic is particularly relevant because, as @vox and others have noted, the growth in cases this summer has been especially large among younger people. https://www.vox.com/2020/7/18/21328358/covid-19-cases-by-age-florida-arizona-texas-miami">https://www.vox.com/2020/7/18...

MA--my home--was #3 in the nation for most out-of-state freshmen (~23K). Glad to hear that @MassDHE is demanding a quarantine. Hope it can be enforced. https://twitter.com/MassDHE/status/1289562828089614338?s=20">https://twitter.com/MassDHE/s...
Better yet...just don& #39;t have freshmen come. Imagine what it will be like to be 18 years old, you& #39;re away from home on your for the first time in your life, and you need to spend 2 weeks in a dorm room, quite possibly utterly alone.
Here is what quarantine will look like in MA:
14 days
Cannot leave your residence
No shared bathrooms
No guests
Must be able to isolate individuals from a group quarantine
All food must be delivered (what college can handle this?)
