Are your dc at university staying put or coming home?

Sorry if theres already a thread on this, I cant find it if there is!
My dc is in halls at uni about 2.5 hours away by train. They have a part time job in hospitality which remains open and likely will do to the bitter end. Lectures are now online only.
They are anxious that they will be stuck there long term if things get worse.

Has anyone else's dc returned home for the foreseeable?

DS is home, they told them to return to their main residence, as they didn't want students self isolating in halls, which seems very sensible to me.
He's going to have online lectures starting next week, but is also working on his dissertation.
We also have his girlfriend here, as she was unable to go home, as she has people vulnerable to infection at home.
It's a bit cosy here!

I have a DD in final year, she’s still working on her dissertation - it’s lab based work she can’t do elsewhere.

They don’t know what will happen with their final exams, but they are only a small part of their overall course assessment so she’s not too worried.

She’s in a shared house but her flatmates have gone home. She’s only 2 hours drive away so we can easily collect her if required. However she’s young and fit so in the group who might get it and not even notice.

@BlossomCat good on you having sons gf. Hope it goes smoothly. I'm bracing myself. My dc has been coming home very often as it is, causing a bit of tension!

I’m collecting my son today, about an hour and a half’s drive away. Most of his friends and flat mates have already gone or are about to go. I didn’t want him to be isolated on his own. He is pretty stressed about this whole thing, so I’d prefer he was home where I can keep an eye on him. I’m more concerned about his mental health than his physical heath as he is young and fit, but gets anxious.
