Held hostage by institutions and landlords, students are paying huge amounts of money for a little bit of online learning. It is an absolute disgrace
I have been fascinated by the signs appearing in halls of residence windows as students are forced to self-isolate: “Send weed”, “Fuck Tory scum”… But the one that got to me was recycling a meme: “I’m claustrophobic, Darren.”
I would be claustrophobic, too, if I was confined to one room while spending thousands of pounds for a university education. Whoever you are, whatever you are studying, no one can think that what is happening to you right now is OK.
