University dorms will be far from empty this school year.

Residence halls at Texas Woman’s University and the University of North Texas will likely see a dip in occupancy compared to previous years, but thousands of students are still on track to move to town in the coming week.

Monica Mendez-Grant, vice president for student life, estimated dorms would be 75% full this year compared to roughly 93% at the start of the 2019-20 school year.

“We have actually recalibrated the occupancy and so we have a larger number of single rooms, and there cannot be more than two students to any room,” Mendez-Grant said.

Yes they are having in person classes. There was a government proposal this summer to prevent international students from staying in the United States if they were taking all their courses online.  So if UNT decided to not have on campus classes the international population would not have been able to attend this year thus reducing the student body by roughly 6.6%.   This proposal was withdrawn but not before the go/no go call for the semester had to be made.

My daughter is a Sophomore this year and while she is taking a full load she only has one lab that is scheduled in person.  From what I understand that is the case with most students.  In fact 2 of her classes were moved on line in the last 30 days.  I am expecting her lab to be hybrid where they do the physical part of the lab every few weeks.

Her and her roommates as well as several freshmen friends of hers are all looking froward to moving in this weekend.
