Same at my school in SoCal but most of the students that came out of the wood work are PPL only types.
I think the long time at home has made some people eager to try things they always wanted to do.
Career minded students are still lacking (we even had two quit, one in PPL and one working on his instrument), but we did get a new guy who wants to give it a go despite COVID.
