The University of Alberta in Edmonton has taken drastic new measures to stop the spread of COVID-19. In an email marked urgent sent to students on Friday, the university requested that students leave their residences on March 24.
It’s a four-day window student Collin Horn said just doesn’t work for him. “I don’t have the money or the connections to move properly,” Horn said Saturday.
Horn has called Newton Place home for the past two and half years. He said the abrupt news has him scrambling to find different accommodations. “I’ll grab a duffel bag with as many essentials as I can and then look for a friend with a spare bedroom or something,” Horn said.
