Here& #39;s my thing about uni, it& #39;s awful at the best of times. No weekends, no evenings, just work. You& #39;re ill mainly cause you& #39;re burnt out. Add COVID into the equation and the added stress. Most students are young and homesick anyway, this doesn& #39;t help mental health at all.

So if the government imposes another & #39;full& #39; lockdown, don& #39;t be surprised to see students run home. We literally can& #39;t afford to spent Xmas holiday away from home on around £4k a year. Some have exams in January, and the ones graduating have limited jobs available to apply to.

It is hard for most rn, but for students (especially final years) we& #39;ve got no guaranteed future, are in 10s of 1000s of £ of debt, and most likely won& #39;t be able to have a graduation, yet alone celebrate ending uni with friends

*Rant over*

(And that& #39;s not saying I don& #39;t agree with lockdown etc... I want to see COVID-19 disappear ASAP and want to see the government do everything they can to make that happen with minimal number of deaths because of it. That doesn& #39;t mean students won& #39;t suffer, though)
