Classes were halted in March, and then moved online. “In the long run, that was a terrible idea,” said Mr. Philcox, 24. Many universities see the move as a political one — an attempt to pressure them to reopen rather than hosting all classes online during the pandemic. For some international students, the directive poses frustrating questions of logistics and uncertainty.
