Jennifer Bruns' child had to leave Elon for home in Illinois due to the Coronavirus crisis.  This plight is not unique as just about every college student at this point has been told to return home.

However, how she dealt with this IS UNIQUE.

Jennifer decided to turn her house into the "Midwest Campus of Elon" for her returning son.

The campus’s new common room? It used to be the home’s living room.

The kitchen has become a “dining hall.” And Bruns’ son’s former bedroom? It’s now a dorm room.

You gotta love the labeling on the rooms.

No doubt it wasn't as effective as she had hoped, but I hope her son appreciated the gesture.  I gotta hand it to her, it is funny.
