Looks like Unis are resorting to desperate measures. Proposals for "bubbles" where students doing the same course live together to share kitchens and other communal areas.
Probably sounded a good idea in theory, but nonsense in practice. Would anyone really want to be effectively "trapped" with a handful of people they've never met before, cooking and living together, with basically no escape (as everything else is closed), and to add insult to injury, they're all doing the same course as you, so no diversity, no meeting different people doing different courses etc.
I've just told my son who is about to "firm" his choice in a couple of weeks time to go in September and he says if they do that, he's definitely not going.
