Expectations vs. Reality: How My Freshman Year during a Pandemic Measured Up
The Class of 2024 knew that living on campus would be different from what they’d always imagined. The COVID-19 pandemic had altered—well, everything. Instead of taking 101 classes in large lecture halls and meals with floormates at the dining hall, meeting people at various gatherings, going to concerts and sports games, this year’s freshmen got a crash course in social distancing, masking, twice-weekly COVID testing, hybrid learning, and grab-and-go meals from the dining hall.
As an unprecedented year is ending, student vlogger Will Loggia (COM’24) has produced a video chronicling a year like no other. He talks about his expectations on arriving at BU and how the year has measured up. From classes to food to friendship, he shares an up close and personal look at a freshman year no one will ever forget. So, watch “Expectation vs Reality,” and maybe come to agree with Will about the quote he ends his account with.
