What do you wish uni's would support you with to return to campus?

What support do you most need from uni's to return to campus in autumn?
If you're starting uni in autumn, or returning to campus for the next year of your course, what do you wish your uni knew about your experience?
What support do you need from them when you return in September?
Are there positive changes since covid you hope they'll keep (like flexible learning)?
Are there things you need them to highlight more (like support making friends, access to wellbeing services, etc)?
Anything else?
I'm presenting at the Student Futures Commission on 9th July, where I'll be sharing information about students' experiences and the support you need. The whole goal is to support universities and government to best support you. There will be representatives from higher education all over the UK, so I'd love to make sure they're hearing what you all really need to help you.

*majority online taught students vote highest for both increasing the amount of face to face lessons as well as balancing out more online and face to face lessons* (as of writing)
Speaks volumes about how people actually feel about the decision to be online and face to face this year despite Government guidelines saying it shouldn't be necessary. Not everyone is high risk for Pete's sake!

Yeah it's been really interesting to see students' feelings about this. The recent HEPI report on student experience suggested something similar about a potentially blended approach, but lots of people were missing the face-to-face time too. It's going to be interesting to see what happens with this.
This is mostly from my experience during the last academic year, but I feel that the best thing students can have is transparency.
Students would prefer to know what the university/faculty/school/department have decided, and exactly what they haven't yet decided.
Then they need to know when they can next get an update with more information.
Where possible, students should also be included and surveyed in the decision making, and this is where really fruitful engagement with Students' Union officers can be beneficial.
If you agree with this post, or have a different opinion, reply to me.

I could not agree more with this post. This has been precisely the issue I and my cohort have faced over the past 12 months and it’s been an absolute shambles of an academic year.
Have I gained experience and learnt knowledge that has been worth the £9250 tuition fee? Definitely not. I’d rather my dental school had taken the decision to halt 2021 admissions and make the entire school repeat the year (as Scotland did) because we are now in a crisis of a situation facing the next academic year and it’s absolutely ridiculous to be in this position.
It just needs to go back to normal.
