[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2311363, member: 520947"] I do feel sorry for students going to University, especially the first years. It's supposed to be a wonderful life experience as well as an academic one. Alongside the fun it can be quite daunting. I was at University at the other end of the country and remember at times I was very homesick during the first term. Many students rely on money from jobs in hospitality to get by. Watching a segment on Liverpool University it appears the vast majority of learning will be done online with questions being raised about the safety of occasional lectures. I cant help but wonder when you add on cost of accommodation they might as well stay at home. Distance Learning is excellent with the Open University. Of course there is also the fact that there are many jobs associated with a university and the impact on local economy of no students. [/QUOTE]
