New thread: coronavirus news for parents whose kids are studying abroad

Our son is a second year student at Edinburgh. The uni moved to online for the final few weeks of classes and has cancelled all exams for first and second year students. He is staying put, given the restrictions and dangers of air travel. Anyone else in similar circumstances?

DD is coming home Wednesday, 4th year at Edi.

Mine is staying in St. Andrews for now. She lives in a private house and her placement year position starts at beginning of July. I feel like she is safer staying put. St. A is also going 100% online when SB ends in 2 weeks.

Hilary Term just finished at Oxford on Friday. Son flew home on Saturday and managed to avoid any major issues. Got word this am that it is likely that all teaching & assessments for Trinity term (starting after Easter) will be done remotely.

@VickiSoCal Hang in there. We’ve got a daily FaceTime with our guy. He’s playing a lot of board games with his flatmates!
