When Harvard mandated that students vacate campus two weeks ago to prevent the spread of coronavirus, undergraduates were forced to bid hasty, uncertain, and often tearful goodbyes to their friends, fellow club members, and significant others.
In order to sustain the relationships forged on campus, many students recently scattered across the country — and the world — say they are leveraging their newfound overabundance of time to improvise ways to stay close.
Charlotte Ruhl ’22 said that she has availed herself of Houseparty, a social networking app that alerts you when your friends are online and allows groups to spontaneously form over video chat.
“You just open the app and other people get a notification that you’re in the house, and then it can prompt them to open the app,” Ruhl said. “I like it because you don’t have to organize or pre-plan when you’re gonna do it.”
“It’s also really nice because I have different friend groups, but they’re all on Houseparty. So I can just keep in touch with everyone,” she added.
Jeffrey R. “Jeff” Prince ’22 also said he has convened with groups of friends through “Playstation parties.”
“I’ve always been a big advocate for video games as a form of art and a form of storytelling, but they also provide nice portals into worlds that are not dealing with pandemics,” he said. “It’s a great way to join up with a couple friends from around the world.”
