.@SFCA_info's Bill Watkin asks: 'How do we best prepare students for these autumn exams? Students won’t know if they want to take the autumn exam until mid-August. Who’s going to teach them from then until October?' https://t.co/1pGDRN1a60

Finally, @suttontrust also identified finances as a major worry for applicants. One such barrier is the £9,250 tuition fee, which some students, like Abdul from @OSFC_Info, feel is too high a price to pay for online or blended learning. https://t.co/jsXQ1jgBA7

While only 9% of current uni applicants don't have their own laptop, tablet, or computer, that's 9% too many for high-quality education to continue for all students. Katie from @OSFC_Info: https://t.co/51rruNk05e

Starting uni in the era of social distancing is something on many students’ minds at the moment. Hear about what some of our students, and others around the country, are thinking. What are your thoughts on starting uni? ⁦@SFCA_info⁩ #WeAreOSFC https://t.co/WNC8BQRmyl
