Hectic. Strange. Frustrating. Monotonous. Worth it.

Some were taking in-person classes and living in dorms, others moved back in with their parents when their campuses shut down. All of them juggled academics, a disrupted social life and a desire for the true college experience during a most unusual fall semester.
