S2.E2. High school and College Transitions: 3 Student Perspectives during COVID-19

Published: Oct. 6, 2020, 10 a.m.

Meet Ryan, Cassie and Aahaan, a group of guests consisting of 1 high school senior and 2 college freshman, all of whose normal routines or expected routines have been stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

\n

Ryan is from the west coast and is a freshman student at Brown University. His start is delayed until January 2021.  Cassie is a high school senior from North Carolina, a dancer and at the start of her college application process.  She is learning remotely from home with her two siblings.  Aahaan is a freshman in college at Rutgers University.  Aahaan finished his senior year of high school in Texas and he and his family just moved to NJ where he was planning on attending school.  But due to the school being remote, Aahaan instead of moving into the dorms continues to live at home with his parents, in a new state without his high school friends around him.
