Queen's University Belfast has announced a return to remote learning in January 2022. This is not fair on students who have yet again paid for accommodation and tuition fees expecting a more normal university experience and threatens yet another year of disruption to the lives of students, who have already seriously suffered two academic years. Covid exists and will continue to spread but ultimately life has to go on. University students are at a crucial point which massively influences how their life continues, much more so than that of other age groups and generations. Therefore the impact even a 'precautionary measure' such as this could have is significantly more damaging than helpful and should not go ahead.
