Life in the Residential Colleges, like almost all aspects of the college experience, has been changing and adapting since the start of the pandemic. Despite the challenge, those in the Housing Department are trying new and safe ways to create a memorable time for their residents.
Junior biology/ pre-optometry major Ty Allen works as a residential adviser in H.C. Franklin Hall. As a returning RA, Allen understands the impact COVID-19 has had on the residents in his building.
“Everyone is getting the COVID-19 fatigue and cabin fever,” Allen said.

Undoubtedly, Valentine’s Day looks different this year because of COVID-19, but college sweethearts are finding ways to keep love alive in the pandemic.
Couples at Murray State have come up with unique ways to celebrate their relationship this Feb. 14, while remaining safe and socially distant.
From childhood friends to highschool sweethearts, sophomore Hannah Lawson and her boyfriend, both from Murray, are keeping tradition this year.
Lawson met her boyfriend of three and a half years when they were just kids at a country club pool. Later, through their church youth group, the pair began to date and subsequently celebrate Valentine’s Day together.
