What did you think of the college not calling a remote day until midday on Monday?: โ€œI thought it was a little crazy, considering that was probably the one day we definitely wouldโ€™ve wanted a remote day. I saw a car slide off the road in front of Gulick, so I was a little scared about how I was gonna get to class. I was glad to see that they made the right choice.โ€

What did you think was the slipperiest spot on campus last week?: โ€œThat hill by the PE Complex and on the way to the townhouses. Right next to Judd was really bad too.โ€

Haley Marino

Did you fall last week and where?: โ€œI did outside the suites.โ€

What did you think was the slipperiest spot on campus last week?: โ€œIt was definitely the paths by the townhouses and the suites.โ€

What do you think was the slipperiest spot on campus last week?: โ€œI didnโ€™t walk very far since my classes were in the same building but the ice was really thick everywhere.โ€

Did you fall last week and where?: โ€œI fell last week in between Hickory and Fuller.โ€

What did you think of the college not calling a remote day until midday on Monday?: โ€œI think it was weird considering they have called a remote day for some of the most mild New England weather that weโ€™ve seen, and then calling it midday and in the middle of class was interesting.โ€

What do you think was the slipperiest spot on campus this week?: โ€œThe triangle right in front of International and those walkways. We have some good clips of people taking a dive on that spot.โ€

Did you fall last week and where?: โ€œI did not fall thankfully.โ€

What did you think of the college not calling a remote day until midday on Monday?: โ€œItโ€™s always hard to come to campus just to turn around again.

What do you think was the slipperiest spot on campus this week?: โ€œThe sidewalks seemed pretty bad in general. Walking behind Shoo-Bemis was rough.โ€

Did you fall last week and where?: โ€œI got here really early so it wasnโ€™t very icy, but I walked through the snow instead of on the sidewalks.โ€

What did you think of the college not calling a remote day until midday on Monday?: โ€œI was surprised because it seemed pretty obvious that the temperatures were going to be that low. I thought it was odd to have a remote day within a 30 minute turnaround.โ€
