high school. But it's the one she applied to that didn't accept her that is the story.
They are both shutting down, but her school offered students who had no safe place to go a safe dorm until the crisis is over, or at least better understood.
The other school demanded that everyone leave, including a large number of Chinese students who they insisted had to go back to China. No tuition refund, or other assistance-- just get out. Sounds inhuman to send them back into the maelstrom.
These Chinese students, btw, pay full freight, allowing girls like my friend's daughter to get generous scholarships.
