Honestly, if I were graduating and attending college this year, I'd just skip this semester, and possibly the year. Online education isn't the same, and most universities are ill prepared to offer online instruction at the same level as in class instruction.

I'm in my senior year of college. I seriously considered doing exactly what you're suggesting.

I would much rather just suck it up and enter the workforce at this point. I don't know what I'd do with myself for the year, and I don't have enough credits to speedrun my degree in the spring. There's also some conflicting information about if I would keep my financial aid. I haven't taken the time to dig into it, because at that point I decided it wasn't worth it.
