BUFFALO, N.Y. — Over the last few weeks, students from around the country have been coming back to their WNY campuses to serve out a mandatory quarantine period before classes begin, but today classes finally get rolling for a few of the biggest local schools.
The University at Buffalo and SUNY Buffalo State, two of the largest colleges in the area, are all set to start in-person learning Monday. Not all classes will be held in person, though.
Buffalo State has said over 75% of classes will take place exclusively online to limit the number of people on campus. UB, the biggest school in the SUNY system, will be having a mix of in-person, online and hybrid classes. All classes at UB will change to online-only after the school's fall recess.
Residence halls at both schools are operating at a reduced capacity to ensure social distancing.
Another local college, D'youville, returned a reduced number of students to campus last Monday for the start of its fall semester.
