'It's worse than prison': Living with university lockdowns

Athena Lamnisos: 'It does not sit well with me' Athena Lamnisos, from west London, has followed the chaotic university lockdowns with a mounting sense of dread. Her 20-year-old daughter, Ellie, is due to begin her third year at Nottingham Trent University, where she will live in a house with eight others, this week.

Do we not needs doctors, nurses, solicitors, teachers etc. Why is everyone so harsh. These kids have studied hard to go to uni. Not to be locked up and have no lessons.

Education should be free!

That infections would be brought into Universities and Schools was as plain as light. Schools have started because children are not dying of Covid and the risk for anybody under 50 is tiny. Students were brought back for the rent and the fees.

Didn't any of these intelligent people realise this could happen? Maybe they're not really smart enough for uni! Maybe deferring for a year would have been a smart move! idiots

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I wonder when Ms Wilson looks at her response will figure out sitting on brains

Students have a roof over their heads, food in their bellies and clean clothes to wear. They are being mildly INCONVENIENCED. Perhaps they should try university in Yemen?

It’s worse than prison 😂.

Why aren't these universities being strung out by their necks for ripping students off during covid? They're obviously not providing value for money now, and people now realize the value they used to provide is questionable. UniofOxford Cambridge_Uni BorisJohnson RishiSunak
