Leah Lurie is a freshman at FGCU. “It feels very quiet. It’ll be nice to be less quiet,” she said. Most of her classes have been online. Because of the pandemic, FGCU offered 50% of its classes online this semester. “You can’t turn to the person next to you and ask questions it’s all online. But you know I’ve adjusted fine. I’m not the biggest fan of it but you know,” Lurie said.
