Audio diary: Adjusting to campus life in a pandemic
It’s a tough time to be starting college, with so much of the typical experience on hold because of the pandemic. Dorms, cafeterias and lecture halls are quiet, and many classes are online, even if students are on campus. It’s hard to meet new friends and connect with professors under the circumstances.
University of St. Thomas freshman Asa Williams is one of the thousands of new students navigating college in Minnesota this fall.
She sent MPR News an audio diary from campus, and talked with host Cathy Wurzer about what her college experience has been like. Use the audio player above to listen to her audio diary.
