Mass exodus of UK students is expected as Covid lockdown starts
Students in cities across England could begin a mass exodus back to their families ahead of new lockdown measures coming into force on Thursday.
Hilary Gyebi-Ababio, National Union of Students vice president for higher education, said students were “really wanting to go home”.
“There’s a sense there could be a mass exodus,” she told the BBC.
It comes after Universities Minister Michelle Donelan urged students, in a letter on Monday, not to “rush home”.
