Covid-19: the impact on university students

Fellow student Oliver Beniston interviews student Ryan Spitty on financial, educational and social implications of the pandemic on university students

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted people from all walks of life. Today we review the financial, educational and social implications of the pandemic on university students. Left in limbo over rental payments and isolated from accustomed places and people, the mental health of students has suffered substantially. EU student Ryan Spitty, studying Film at Queen Mary University of London, alongside interviewer and fellow student Oliver Beniston, aim to offer an insight into the plight of university students and how they may continue to be impacted in the long term-post lockdown and into a newly restricted and virtual world.
