I love Catawba, it s a great school that cherishes the knowledge of their students. But with being only 3 weeks into the second 2021 semester, I find it very uncomfortable to be on campus. Most of the students take off their mask as soon as they walk out of the classroom, even if they are still in the building! Others will walk around and sit in the sitting areas around campus (Admin!) with no mask what so ever! I see big groups walking around to get to classes with no mask on. I have seen more non-mask students than the ones that are actually wearing them. I believe that multiple other students are starting to feel this way too, and as a commuter the last thing I would want to do is bring Covid back to my house where my family (who all has various health issues) live. Especially with the overwhelming rate of people in quarantine currently. If the students aren t going to take this seriously for the sake of people other than themselves then I think it s dangerous for us all to be back on campus and I would prefer not to be as uncomfortable as I already am with just trying to move around to my classes to avoid the non-maskers. And the thing is you don t know who to trust to be around with this virus and the professors are making it dangerously close to overstepping Covid boundaries within the classrooms and assigned group work outside of class. It is a very overwhelming experience to be back on campus this semester, especially when we don t have a voice to tell others what is completely going wrong here, because most of them don t care about the virus or see that they can harm more people than what they may think.
