While on-campus students have waited for the chance to come back to Penn State, some wonder if there is the possibility of being sent home should coronavirus cases rise in the area.
Penn State began the on-campus move-in process for the spring semester on Feb. 9 for the start of in-person classes on Feb. 15.
From Aug. 7 to Dec. 18, there were a total of 5,052 positive coronavirus tests in the fall semester at University Park, according to Penn Stateâs coronavirus dashboard. However, Penn State never suspended in-person classes or sent all on-campus students home in the fall.
Despite the possibility of being sent home early, several students are still living on campus this spring. One of these students is Maggie Whalen.
