Partially refund all university students for their accommodation fees
Rejected

What the petition asks
I believe university students across the country should be at least partially refunded for their accommodation fees as they’re no longer allowed access. Most students have been told not to return to university until February half term at the earliest but are being expected to pay rent.
Throughout this pandemic, students have had to adapt to online learning, paying in full for courses that aren’t delivering the same experience as precious years. On top of this, students are now being asked to pay for accommodation that they’ve been confined to throughout stages of the pandemic and accommodation that is now inaccessible to most students (with some exceptions). The government have instructed students not to return to university, yet they’re still being expected to pay for rent.
