Small town, Big University, Pandemic proof?

[Blake Jennings]

Hello BPU!

I live in a small town with a Large University in Ohio (Full disclosure I work at said University.). I’ve noticed there has been minimal changes to college student occupant levels. 2nd year students were permitted to live off campus this year to avoid there being too many students to close together on campus thus increasing demand for student rentals of all shapes and sizes.This year has also seen record high first year student in person attendance. Wondering if other towns /Universities around the nation are in the same shape?
