Boston College is also, my son has to be out of his dorm by this Sunday. Classes will resume via online in the next two weeks. Kinda sucks that we paid for housing and a meal plan, and now we will be providing the housing and meals, guess I’ll wait for that credit to come through from the University

Maybe they should get jobs?

Consider that one a sunk cost. The increase in tuition for the fall will more than wipe out any credit you would get.

That could become flight attendants and quit when they land close enough to their home city to be picked up.

They shouldn't fly home. If you had Corona and did, imagine how tired your arms would be.

If they don't leave, just send them to the work camps imo

I'm guessing the OP has no idea where Harvard is.

Are you saying you’re a mean dick?

I guess it’s the communal bathrooms and cafeterias that’s pose the most risk, otherwise how is it different than an apartment?

Is anyone "kicking" students out of dorms? Or are you panicking?
I'm not familiar with what LSU is doing, but Memphis and Vanderbilt are only canceling "in person" classes. They will still have on line classes. The dorms are still open for students if they choose to stay there.
My niece and nephew are both evicted. Niece is a freshman at Penn State, was home for spring break, has been told not to come back.
Nephew is in Boston, was told to clear out.
They are fortunate as their parents have the money to deal with this. Not everyone can. I mean, of course you will do it, but it sure blows their worlds up.

Seriously- maybe sanitation crews, maybe extra unskilled help at hospitals. Everything else is going dormant.

Apartments may be kept like pig sties but the stuff there is related to a limited number of residents.
Dormitories are a mass of germs, interacting.
Who's going to clean the door handles going in and out? After every entrance/exit?
Will pepper be allowed in a dining hall because it makes some people sneeze?
Who's going to resupply toilet paper?
Occasional CoronaVirus symptom: diarrhea: cleanup becomes a whole new level of problems.
But, with the amount of stuff a college student has (beyond clothes and books), frig, microwave, TV, music equipment, things their parents don't want them to have. Heck, we smelled the disaster that refrigerators became after Katrina. Dorms full of refrigerators...can't turn the electricity off, or else.
Right now, LSU seems to be on top of the situation. Tulane, not so much.
I do wonder how Grad Students doing lab work will handle experiments that really can't be interrupted.

Tulane is making some exceptions for international students who are unable to fly home now. The letter that went out yesterday said this about grad students:
All graduate and professional students will also transition to remote instruction by March 23, with the exception of clinical-based programs, practicums, medical rotations and in-lab training/research.
