  I lived in Cary for a long time and also attended NCSU for grad school. I've been following the conversation on related sub-reddits and it seems like the biggest concern is what students are doing when they're not on campus: parties, crowded gatherings down Hillsborough St, etc. Community spread will still happen ... just that campus activities will not be the main driver.

    I'm a current student at NC State, and have been relatively satisfied with the University's planning and policies on paper... That said, this is obviously a cash grab, and they're ignoring that students aren't going to follow their rules when they're off campus (Hillsborough St, parties, as you said above.) I've already seen it happening... this isn't going to go well.

  The difference is the state government. Stanford doesn't exactly oppose the state's guidance, but I think their announcement makes it clear that they would have opened the campus if the state guidance had been a bit less strict.
