BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston College is asking their students how they feel about going on Thanksgiving break before making a decision about the rest of the semester amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Undergraduate students are being asked to fill out a survey that asks whether they would prefer to return home for Thanksgiving break and finish out the semester remotely or if they would rather remain in Massachusetts and complete the semester on-campus.
Students have until 5 p.m. Thursday to submit their responses.
Massachusetts resident and freshman student Kyle Andrew told 7NEWS that he voted to return home.
“I personally voted for option one because I live in Massachusetts and a lot of my friends would also be returning so it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to go back and especially with all the restrictions tightening here, I feel like going home might be the better option,” he said.
However, some students from out-of-state like freshman Scott Holmes say they want to be allowed back on campus for the rest of the semester.
“I really don’t want to go home for a month-and-a-half and basically not be able to do anything,” he said. “I’m having a ton of fun here and as much as I want to see my parents and everything like that, I don’t want to just sit in the house all day.”
Boston College says they plan to make a decision about Thanksgiving break and the rest of the semester no later than Monday.
