An Empty Campus

Rachel Scully, Campus Editor

It’s usually a campus flooded with students. Now, JCU sits mostly vacant, like a ghost town. Before the pandemic, students would squeeze by each other in the halls, groan about parking a little too far from Murphy and wonder what kind of meal was waiting for them in the Caf. Now, the campus is largely deserted, awaiting a time when it will be filled with life again.
