How students in Plymouth are coping with lockdown
Georgia and Alfie say their University has been very supportive
Students in Plymouth have opened up about their University experience during lockdown.
Many courses have moved online since the start of the academic year, to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
A large number of students have also found themselves having to isolate in their University accommodation due to outbreaks of the virus.
But despite this, some students are still remaining largely positive.
Georgia Large and Alfie Martin are both studying at Plymouth Marjon University.
The pair say things are different now, but that the University has been very supportive throughout.
Georgia says their lecturers are always on hand to help:
"They've been really supportive. We're constantly getting updates so that we're never questioning 'Oh, what's going to happen next?' because as soon as the University know it, we know it."
On Wednesday (12 November) the Government announced plans for a one-week student travel window, to get them home to their families and loved ones in time for Christmas.
Hundreds of thousands have been asked to make their journeys in the seven days after England's lockdown ends next month - while there will also be increased testing.
Alfie has welcomed the news:
"I think it's nice for students to know what's happening. It gives people a bit of security and reassurance and it's a great way for people to go home and see their families, because it was so uncertain before."
