College during
COVID-19
Introduction
My COVID-19 Journey
This pandemic struck at such a pivotal point in my lifetime. I was undergoing the
transition from high school to college. It created some challenges along the way. For example,
COVID-19 made it difficult for me to visit some college campuses due to the school closures.
Those visits impacted my decision on which college I attended. Despite these challenges, I am
glad to be attending Springfield College and am grateful that we are able to live on campus
right now. The college is adjusting to the virus in order to keep students and faculty safe. Here
are some photos I took during this time.

Move-In Day
This photo was taken in August
when I moved into my dorm room.
During this time, we were only
allowed two other people to help us
move our belongings into the dorm.
Anyone else had to wait in the car. I
was still able to move in quickly and I
had some time to grab a few extra
things at the store with my family for
parting ways.

Orientation
Springfield College’s orientation was
a quite different this year. We were
dividing into small groups based on
which floors we live on in our dorms.
All activities were outside and we ate
meals together on the grass while
social distancing. This photo is of me
and my friend right before one of out
activities.

Outside Life on Campus
COVID-19 has allowed us to
spend more time outside than
before. We frequently use the
outdoor seating in order to social
distance. Here is a photo I took while
sitting on a bench eating my lunch.
The weather was really nice and the
sunset was quite pretty.

Art Class
There are only a few classes I
have that meet in person. Studio in
Drawing is one of them. We meet
every monday and do some drawing
exercises.Here are some piece we
hung up during October. I drew the
stairwell on the left based off of
observation.

Campus Life
Things on campus look
different. There are signs on doors
reminding us to wash our hands,
hand sanitizing stations, and 6 feet
markers on the grounds. One of the
most interesting changes is the mask
placed on a statue located in the
center of campus. It serves as a
friendly reminder to wear a mask.
