Are the university buildings becoming irrelevant? Because right now our exams are going on and we are still attending them through online meetings?

Sitting in our respective hostels, PGs, flats, anything.

Nope it’s not just for learning subjects etc, it’s also about learning other things needed in life.

a lot of the clubs etc at Uni provide stars of today etc.

Such as Cambridge Footlights Club.

Having lived and worked in a University ‘town’, you soon notice the difference between lockdown and no Uni and when things are normal again.

There is only so much you can do at home with a lot of courses, some are fairly impossible and suffered during lockdown.

no they aren't. corona fucked everyone up. i think social interaction in a university setting is not replacable. as witnessed by the degrading education quality since home office.

The uni’s in my state have been packed with cars since at least January. They just built a shitload of new buildings last year. They’re not letting all that money go to waste. And no one in my state hardly wears a mask. We still wear ours when in crowded places

Int he US, university campuses are open and life has returned to normal.

I think they're becoming irrelevant regardless, or at least they will in the coming decades.
