A lot of colleges, many in California, won't open classrooms on campus this fall. They will expect students to watch videos online, read their textbooks, and absorb the necessary knowledge to pass the tests, assuming they bother to test, sitting at home and web surfing it. And to pay full tuition for the privilege.
Was it me, especially if I was an entering freshman, I would opt for an out of college year. Take a job, enlist in the armed forces, hike the Appalachian trail, work on a ranch, rebuild a classic car, do a winter as a ski bum, ride a bike across the USA, sail around the world, anything rather than pay outrageous tuition for the privilege of watching U-tube videos.
Assuming you have not sent in the tuition check yet, you can tell the college you are taking an off year, and will be back next year. And the colleges will have to grin and bear it.
