As a former international student, even regular breaks when school would close the dorms were tough. Winter/Spring break especially. Back then there was no AirBnb and no one would do short term rentals. I do not envy those students with nowhere to go. Plane tickets while cheap-ish due to the outbreak may still be out of the reach of college students.

UD has explicitly said international students can stay in their dorm rooms -- see https://udayton.edu/studev/health_wellness/healthcenter/coro....

Ah, missed that. I'm glad for them.

There wasn't an international dorm at your University? My University had a dorm for international / special circumstances kids that never closed over breaks. I assumed that was normal.

Nope. Small private school. I think as I was graduating they started operating some dorms full time.
