“And then I have class at midnight, so I’ve given my siblings incentive to go do work since they have more free time they only have their online classes for three hours a day.” “I’ve been assigning everyone work just because I sleep till one,” Nguyen said. Being the oldest, she has taken it upon herself to create a schedule for her and her younger siblings and cousins quarantining with her - the youngest being eight.

Nguyen is the oldest in the house of her, her younger brother and two cousins. “It’s just for the risk factor she shipped all the kids off to our house three hours away.” “My mom just shipped me off with my dog because I live with my grandma, so my mom doesn’t want me anywhere near her even though we’ve got test results and everything,” Nguyen said. Most of her professors were understanding of her situation.Īfter testing negative for the virus at the end of the two weeks, Nguyen was allowed to leave the facility and is currently isolating in her family’s vacation house outside the Ho Chi Minh. She explains she mainly used the 30 minutes to send emails to her professors. Nguyen said that as she befriended the three other people in the room, “I was leeching off of this girl’s Wi-Fi - she had given me WiFi for like 30 minutes on her hotspot - but, obviously, that was not adequate to do any actual work.” The lack of WiFi made it difficult for her to communicate with her professors.

In one hall of the hospital, according to Nguyen, there were 14 to 15 rooms. Due to having a slight temperature when arriving, she was taken to “a hospital on an island an hour and a half away from Ho Chi Minh” where she was quarantined for 14 days. Nguyen says she often gets fevers while flying. “And then, regardless of whether you tested positive or negative, you would have to go to a remote government quarantine center.” From a certain date onward people who arrived at the airport in Vietnam couldn’t leave the airport and had to be tested,” Nguyen, 20, said. “I had to go through government quarantine. However, Nguyen’s experience once she arrived at the airport was vastly different from most New School students.

Nguyen, a Culture and Media major at Lang, returned to Vietnam in March to quarantine with her family. However, both her journey back home to Vietnam and transition to remote classes have been anything but easy. Like all New School students, Nguyen is taking classes remotely. Now, due to the pandemic, she occasionally has to try and stay awake while pulling all-nighters on Zoom. Nguyen could participate in class, had reliable access to the internet, and was able to have the proper equipment to do projects.
