As the fall 2020 semester approaches, COVID-19 has taken a toll on schools everywhere - including Berklee. Because of this, we are moving forward with a hybrid fall semester with the option of being completely remote or in a hybrid setting on campus.

Tuition is set at the same price, which is unfair for the students and families who are exclusively remote or even hybrid, we are simply not getting the same quality of education and experience that full tuition offers. We aren’t able to use the facilities and all of the equipment that was once available at our fingertips. With these tough times, there are also many students who are financially struggling during the days of an on going pandemic and movements exposing the systemic racism in America. 

The fact of the matter is that Berklee switching to remote teaching means that the students are not receiving the same level of education. There should be a discounted price where we only pay for what we are getting.
