Confusion amid the university crisis

The pandemic robbed her of the chance to sit A levels. But she ended up with three As and is now studying journalism at the University of Brighton (Eastbourne campus).

Here is her latest contribution.

"After Boris’ most recent briefing he made one thing painfully clear. He must be entirely allergic to the word ‘university’. Of course in an address to the nation it would be impossible for the prime minister to mention every relevant sector and institution, but I think I speak for many university students when I say that I exhaled a deep sigh after he stated the fate of primary schools, secondary schools and colleges, and then continued on to his next point. Now of course the government website is the destination that many flock to after Boris has rounded up one of his often bemusing reports, however to discover on GOV.UK after trawling through countless coronavirus-related pages that you now cannot return to university for at least a month later than anticipated really does add to the blow. I spent the majority of Monday evening messaging equally as confused friends, all wondering what this meant for us and whether we would actually return to campus before the year 2078.
