Joey Weber, a freshman nursing major at Kent State, said that not being able to embrace the full college experience has affected his first year of college.
College in itself is stressful and corona really adds on to it, but overall I’ve enjoyed college so far, considering what’s going on

“I was hoping to be able to hang with and meet new friends, watch Kent State football in person, and be involved with a fraternity,” he said.
The year did start off better than he had assumed it would, at least.
“Going into this year I was expecting everyone to be super uptight about COVID-19. In reality, there were a lot of things, within CDC regulations, that I did the first week,” Weber said.
His first semester has been stressful, though, and with COVID-19 and all online classes, the pressure did increase. However, Weber said college also has been a fun and new experience, despite the extra strain.
