You could establish a presence in BA now at least virtually with a free (or paid), 1h class 5 or 3 times a week with any of the "meet" apps, if you had the time. Outside chance of making a connection in the mean time. Maybe stupid idea, but I am totally amazed at our experience. After 2 years planning we were scheduled to land in BA earlier this month. Of course that was SC. Instead my wife is continuing her university classes, but now conducting 3 2-hour classes a week from our home - pretty much like the rest of the world. I wondered about the outcome as we were setting it up, but everyone, everyone jumped right in and adjusted. Many of the students are attending with their phones and many are stranded in remote locations. As amazed as I am, it was not totally unexpected. Every laptop in the world has been capable of this for more than a decade. You could do this from the moon. And it's not going away after covid is under control. No lost hours & expenses commuting, I'm thinking about all the university students struggling to get into the highly competitive public universities and how poor countries could educate far more students if they didn't need to provide expensive sprawling campuses.
