So @lamdch would you take the year off? Would you still be able to receive some mentoring via Zoom? For some majors, online classes will provide a way to continue, and there are benefits to both ways of learning, in-person and online.
I don’t think it is productive to find the negatives in online classes. Some level of acceptance of the reality of COVID is needed. There are many positives to true online classes (NOT the same as remote versions of in-person lectures).
