The students will return

The local university has announced that students will return this fall.  As much as I love our little town without the students, it is a huge relief.  The economy of this town would be absolutely decimated without the students.  I can't even imagine.  They will be back the middle of August and will pretty much be here all the way through Thanksgiving.  They will take finals at on-line remotely the week after Thanksgiving, and then won't be returning until sometime in January.  While I enjoy getting to have such a lovely and QUIET little town right now (even orientation is online) I am relieved they will be back in August!
