Supported by YouthSight’s OpinionPanel Community, we interviewed 1008 students during December 2020, asking 12 questions relating to their experience of life on campus. In thinking about a future post-Covid state, our student panel faced the same task we all do and have done throughout the crisis – to imagine something outside our experience, based on shifting sands of general or specialist knowledge, that may be quickly shown to be inaccurate as the situation evolves. In writing this report we assume a future state in which vaccination has allowed society to return to something much like it was before, though leaving lives, including the worlds of work and study, potentially changed forever.
