Seniors Nicolo Betino, Bintou Agne, Arielle Smith, and Stephen Vargas discussed their experiences the last few days. On Wednesday, USC announced classes would be moved online until at least April 14. The university is discouraging students from returning from Spring break next week.

“I’m very happy that they’re taking it so seriously.” said Arielle Smith, a senior studying journalism. “I kind of think a huge part of my college experience has been stripped from me.”
