This announcement has been a long time coming- supposed to be announced at end Easter holidays, some terms began yesterday.
“Upon return, all students and staff are encouraged to take three supervised tests (3 to 5 days apart) at an asymptomatic testing site on campus”

Even if stage 3 starts on 17/05, there will be little of the summer term remaining or none at all for some courses. Ergo most students will not have been on campus or taught on campus for much of the academic year, in the case of 2nd years for much of two academic years.
And naturally they’re paying an enormous sum into the bargain. I know that they’re still being taught and academics are going to great lengths to find creative ways of teaching but it is indisputable that their wider experiences are transformed as to what they might have expected
A debt which as I’ve reported before many are extremely likely never to be able to repay as a result of the increased interest payments and abolition of the maintenance grants.
For many this academic year, in terms of on campus education is now essentially a write off.
