 “The first week of classes has definitely been crazy. I’m really happy my clinicals and labs are in person, but hybrid classes have been pretty tough to figure out in such a short period of time.”

“It’s been difficult getting used to the hybrid system because it’s hard to know which days to go into class and which days to Zoom, but I am happy Xavier is making it work, and we can be on campus at least some of the time.”

“Having to do Zoom last semester during quarantine made getting used to classes this semester much easier. I have one hybrid class and I like it. It’s nice to get back in the classroom instead of just sitting in my house looking at a Zoom screen all day.”

“It feels great to be on campus and in touch with friends and faculty. It’s definitely different though, having hybrid classes, less caf accessibility and finding more creative ways to socialize.”

“It seems like everyone has adjusted well to COVID-19 protocol and wearing masks on campus. Hybrid classes have been challenging to get used to, but I have a lot of friends from home who are all online and can’t go to school, so I’m happy to be here.”
