i would wager there is also a huge variance in testing rates in on vs off campus. would like to see that split out.

I think the testing policy is the same for everybody affiliated with the school. I haven't seen any college testing program that distinguishes people based on residence. From the Duke website: "In effort to help protect members of the Duke community, the University conducts three different types of tests for COVID-19: Entry Testing for all incoming students; Surveillance Testing on a weekly basis for asymptomatic students, faculty and staff; and Symptomatic Testing for those experiencing symptoms."

they tested the avg student 1.5X in a week but missed about 10% of students altogether and never tested them once.

this makes me suspect significant variance is likely.

My son is a grad student at Rice. Enforcement is lax...based on the honor system.

the student athletes are tested more than normal students. and those are undergraduates. they also travel more, which might require even MORE testing.
