LANCASTER, Pa. Students who attend Franklin & Marshall College in the fall will have to present proof that they have been vaccinated for COVID-19 before they are admitted, the school announced this week.
The college said students will have to provide a scanned copy of their completed vaccination cards to the Student Wellness Center by August 1. Like many colleges, Franklin & Marshall recognizes that comprehensive COVID-19 vaccination will be the most effective way for students to enjoy a safe and robust on-campus experience, the school said in its announcement. Therefore, after careful consideration, and in accordance with the recommendation of the American College Health Association, F&M will require all enrolled students present on campus to receive, and to provide proof of having received, a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by the Food and Drug Administration.

The 100 Best Private Colleges in America

Choosing a college can be one of the most important decisions in a person s life. The universities that students attend will train them for their future careers, give them the education they need to think critically and solve real-world problems, and connect them to a lifelong social network and community. While invaluable, the benefits of higher education don t come cheap especially if the choice is a private school. Tuition and fees at private colleges clocked in at more than $35,000 a year on average in the 2018-2019 school year. That s nearly four times as much as what a student would typically spend to attend an in-state public college, according to data from U.S. News & World Report. No wonder recent graduates of private nonprofit schools typically shoulder about $32,600 in student debt, according to Matt Carter of Credible.
