Pretty easy here and my twins have always been very laid back. One watched part of a seminar which was on line for the first time by his Bristol lecturer on his course although he did not participate in it. He has set himself up with a lap top in the garden under a sunshade at the big table and been working on either his essay or dissertation. He's done 6000 words of notes for the dissertation and thinks it is going fine. His twin has already submitted his as that subject hsa an earlier deadline. I think they have about one exam each which just be an essay for which they will be given a week to do it in or something like that and had loads of assessment already anyway which feeds into the degrees so I think they are not too affected academically by it.
There are friends ( house mates) in each of their student houses so at least my £3000 of rent for this term is benefitting someone's child, if not mine.
Carriemac, sorry about the law practice exams. I remember how many exams I had to do for law. I was just amazed my twins have 1 (or 2 ) exams only this summer - totally different from law which is exam after exam after exam. So my twins not reading law and having an essay instead of a final exam is almost de minimis as most of their assessment was never going to be all on this final one or two exams . That is very different from other subjects.
I don't think your daughter should defer. I think she should have a go and see how she does. Also I think the markers will be reasonably generous given the situation.
My son's friend finished the year abroad a bit early and is now in my son's bed room in Bristol as her new house tenancy does not start until 1 July so that's worked out fine.
My twins are helped by having lots of calls to friends and the one with a girl friend obviously calls her every day. They also seem to have a good routine here of work when there is some academic work to do., They cook together each night or most nights and do a food shopping trip once a week, go cycling every day or for a walk in the woods opposite our house. it took a while to get new routine up and running but they seem to be fine. However it is extremely difficult for lots of people particularly those who are sick with covid 19 and those who have lost their jobs.
The one of my sons doing a gap year with his friends needs to discuss with them their plans in about a month once the situation may be clearer. The plan was to work to save money to end of this year and travel from Jan 2021. I certainly would have preferred him to stick with his decision of last year to go to law school in London with his twin for 2 years. Given travel abroad may be hard and jobs could be difficult to get, studying for something sensible like law might be a better plan.
