Victoria Mattox, a sophomore from Appomattox, VA:
“For me, online classes have felt significantly easier than in-person. I’ve had several asynchronous classes, and the classes that were synchronous have had drastically less work than pre-COVID ones. It certainly has its downfalls, too; I think that I haven’t taken in as much information as before. I miss making new friends and meeting my professors face-to-face. It’s so much easier to lose focus and motivation when everything is online. Overall, I’d say that while it is easier to manage, online classes are lacking in the social enrichment that in-person classes entail. Looking forward to being in person again!”
