people when it started. that wasn't fun. got into a lot of arguments. with fees of £9,000 a year, and living costs, these third—year students feel out of pocket. i think we should have some compensation for... either teaching orfor the accommodation, because a lot of the rooms didn't get lived in, so people going back to their families, if they're shielding, orwhatever. a lot of uni—based accommodation i have tried to give a bit of moneyl back, but a lot of private things — i obviously, what we were in lastl year — haven't done anything. and when we weren't living in that house for something like six - months or so of the year, we were still paying - rent every month. cherie is a second—year sociology student. thank you. she first went to university at 18, but had to drop out. in the middle of the year, i sadly lost my mum. it was a really difficult time and that made me become a young carerfor my brothers. that's on the third floor... at the age of 23, cherie decided to go back. but the pandemic meant she wasn't able to experience university life.
