You&nbsp;can\u2019t\nreally sit with all your friends&nbsp;and that\u2019s a disappointment&nbsp;because\nlast year we would almost try to squeeze 10 people into a table at a time.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changes have also occurred in the classroom&nbsp;which has\nleft Burch and other students feeling different as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe classes are all split up between Zoom and in-person classes,\u201d Burch said.&nbsp;\u201cSome&nbsp;days I have&nbsp;Zoom&nbsp;classes and other days it is in person so&nbsp;it&nbsp;kind of gets confusing sometimes.

In addition to this, there is a signup sheet you need to fill out to work out in the arena. Hopefully, things eventually get normal so we can go back to how school was and felt before.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LVC continues to remain socially distancing and requiring the rules and guidelines that they put in place at the beginning of the academic year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(<em>Update: LVC now offers full in-person classes, the arrows have been removed around campus and there are no longer glass dividers in the cafeteria.) <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By: Dylan Baxter &#8217;21, Staff Writer At the start of the academic year, LVC&nbsp;put in new rules and guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
