When Colleges Shut Down, Some Students Have Nowhere To Go

Lee Myers is a senior at Berea College in Kentucky. Up until March 14, he was living in a dorm called Deep Green, majoring in philosophy with a minor in economics, and looking forward to a future career in social justice. Now that the campus has closed and graduation is canceled due to coronavirus, he and his classmates have bigger things to worry about.

These struggles cannot be explained any better than from those that have truly experienced this growing issue.
