Some video's on ITV now, Universities halls of residence look like night clubs, but more tightly packed.
Why does the average university student appear to lack brains?

Ok, I'll confess it's the DM, but it made me smile in a sort of despairing way.

Covid parties aside, I am all for uni - if someone can afford to go. Even mickey mouse courses. It's fun, people can make lifelong friends. It does broaden the mind, meeting people from all over.. and it puts off the next 60-odd years of drudgery for a little longer. Good on em!

Yes. And most are not getting handouts. Everybody I know had to pay their way through uni with loans, and then pay off the loans. It's just wrong to say that they are all getting a free ride.

That looks nothing like the uni I went to! But who can blame them, locked up inside hall of residence with nothing to do.
It's all part of the government plan anyway to get herd immunity, while pretending not to.

What they haven't twigged is that they're going to be caught in a revolving door of 14 day self-isolation periods until there's a vaccine unless they start acting like the intelligent adults they're supposed to be. They're going to be in and out like the proverbial fiddler's elbow.
The smart ones will call it a day and go home. The wasters will carry on as they are and do their damage in the community at large.

Two problems really. First, it was probably freshers week / fortnite - no lectures, time to get settled in and meet people.
Second, ****ty halls of residence that are like being in a carpeted prison cell. You'd go stir crazy in a day if you stayed in your room. Arundel is a new hall, but I suspect no better than the one I stayed in up the road, probably even smaller rooms now!
The so called night club was probably in a canteen area, the only place in halls where people can actually meet other people. They are not designed to be social places really, which is a bit of a design flaw when building a place for students to live. But it's cheaper that way.
Here it is being built:

...or English lessons.
Presumably they are going to uni to get a qualification which leads to a better job which leads to better money compared to those that don’t go to uni? In that case, what’s the problem with paying for that, they are bettering themselves aren’t they? If things were really 'fair' according to your way of thinking, they would get their £9k uni fees paid by the government but to be really fair, all other non-uni people should be getting £9k a year too. You know, the ones that will be sweeping our streets, cleaning our hospitals, driving our busses and serving us our meals when we eat out. Those people - or would you say they are not worthy of an extra £9k a year for three or four years?

Me. And lots of other careful people like me. And those isolating. And those quarantining. And the friends and relatives of the 42,143 that have died (so far) from this virus. And those that have lost their livelihood. And those who haven’t seen loved ones for months. And those that have cancelled weddings. And those who's mental health has suffered because of lockdown. And those that have been unable to be with a loved one when they went to hospital or be with them as they passed away. And those that have been unable to attend a funeral of a dear friend or relative. That’s who. Quite a few of us can 'blame them' actually.
