Pandemic reflections

After a year of remote learning and being away from friends and the campus they call home, our Tar Heels reflect on their experiences.

Like the rest of the world, Carolina’s typically bustling campus came to a sudden halt last spring. At a moment’s notice, everything changed as students moved out of the residence halls and the University transitioned to remote learning.

That pivot to remote learning hasn’t been the only challenge students have faced throughout the pandemic. They’ve also coped with the stresses of the ongoing public health crisis and being separated from friends, family and the campus they call home.

Whether they were seniors in high school when the pandemic began or Tar Heels preparing for their final year in Chapel Hill, the past 12 months have reshaped the Carolina experience for thousands of students.
