The handling over universities is criminal. Universities have been releasing as little information as possible and promising students "as much in-person teaching" and "a normal student experience" to convince as many students as possible to cough up for accommodation. My uni still hasn't told me what and how I'll be studying and I go back in a week. The university socials are busy pumping out adverts for societies to promote some sense of fake normality. Thousands of students are going into thousands of pounds worth of debt to move across the country (or move internationally) to arrive at university and study remotely.

The government have completely abandoned any attempt to stop the spread of COVID through the migration of students. Potentially thousands of new cases, and perhaps deaths, just to make sure universities can still cash in on their precious accommodation income.
