18 July 2020. As the Covid-19 pandemic intensifies in the U.S., school systems and colleges are debating whether and how to reopen their classes next month. A poll by the U.S. news publication Axios<\/a> suggests college and university students are ready to return to their campuses, and even postpone partying until the pandemic recedes.<\/p>\n

The business research company Statista<\/a> captures the data in a chart published this week, and displayed as our weekend infographic. The results show three in four U.S. college students (76%) plan to return to their campuses if given the option, with two-thirds (66%) prepared to attend in-person classes. However, if a major Covid-19 outbreak occurs, nearly the same percentage of students (67%) would leave their campuses.<\/p>\n

And, at least when asked in the survey, most university students say they’re ready to forego some of the more enjoyable features of campus life. Seven in 10 students (71%) say they would not attend sports events and eight in 10 (79%) won’t attend parties if they return to campus.<\/p>\n

Axios commissioned the survey conducted by the company College Reaction<\/a> that polled a representative sample of 800 students in the U.S. on 13-14 July.<\/p>\n
