Adding on to this, college is a great place to meet students from all around the world. The downside of virtual learning is that many students fled the countries where the government's response was underwhelming, so it's hard to collaborate across so many timezones. If virtual learning continues to be the norm, then students would likely go to schools to operate in a timezone that works best for them (which would most likely be during the day for them). This would eliminate the opportunity to work on projects with people from the other side of the world for most.
