A lot of Hunter students’ gripes are location-specific, and we don’t really have a location anymore,” she said. “I think they ended up being a good way for people to connect during this weird, distance learning time. Right now is a time when it’s hard to find entertainment in the constant barrage of an intense news cycle, but Khadilkar thinks that any form of distraction helps.

And to her delight, it was circulated all over social media. I didn’t, however, see one for Hunter, so I set out to change that,” she said. “I saw a lot of different friends of mine posting Bingo cards for their schools.
