D18 starts college in the fall.

As a family we thought long and hard about a gap year. Her school is opening dorm rooms and each freshman will have a roommate. However, no campus group activities. There will be daily temp checks, quarantine plans for outbreaks, etc. At any moment, they could shift gears and say that everything will be online. Just doesn't sound like a college year that's very much fun-- no concerts, basketball games, concerts, movies, etc.

In the end, she decided she was ready to leave home and start college life. She could continue to work at the bakery and take some online classes, but with all of her friends off to school, how much fun would life at home be with mom and dad?
