DD will be travelling back to university sometime in the next few days in preparation for online exams. (Or we will most likely drop her off.) This is necessary as our Wi-Fi is terrible and keeps dropping, we have a tiny house and it’s not a good area to study/do exams. We thought she would be alone, however, two of her other housemates will also be going back.
It appears quite a few other students will also be travelling back after heading home for Easter- due to exams and/or make the most of properties they’ve paid £1000~ in rent, or even the majority of their stuff being there. My DD only bought a few days of clothes and ended up staying four weeks; she needs her computer as I need mine again for work, medication, etc...
Is this irresponsible, or simply one of the ‘life has to go in some areas’ event of the current times?
Realistically, I doubt DD will socially distance from her best friend who she lives with. I trust her to keep away from non-household friends, however, there’s zero chance she’ll socially distance within her ‘new’ household- It’s tiny anyway!
If it makes a difference, none of them have underlying health conditions or are shielding.
Is anyone else’s DD/DS in this situation?
