It’s important to understand your own feelings and then try to be aware of others’ feelings too.

This is just a selection of the many possible thoughts and experiences during this period of transition – these are completely normal. Some of you may not have been in the same country as your university for the past year and now worry about the challenges and stigma attached to returning international students. Others may have found that remote working reduced your engagement because of a disability and may be worried about how you will re-engage now. Some of you may have disabilities for which remote learning has been helpful and may be concerned about how your needs will be met in the return to face-to-face teaching. Some of you will have been shielding because of health conditions and these conditions may still present significant concerns. Some of you will be itching to get back to campus others may be feeling anxious about it. Some of you will have been on campus with in-person teaching for some time and may be either welcoming or fearful of the imminent rise in numbers.

The crucial thing to remember as you go back to campus life is that everyone’s experiences and expectations will be different. Everyone will feel different and that’s OK Here are a few things to keep in mind as we adapt to these changes. Some of you may be keen to get back to campus, while others may be more apprehensive – and both these feelings are justified. For university students, one of the biggest changes has been the significant disruption to campus life.Īs many universities start to open up to face-to-face teaching many students are heading back to campuses for the first time in a long time.
