During the current pandemic, University students have found themselves under enormous amounts of pressure. They are affected by the online submission of assignments, but also the underlying factor of having to pay rent on vacant rooms. Having reliable Wi-Fi in student blocks is paramount to their educations.

What can be done to help students?

According to The Guardian, some student block providers have agreed to waive fees or given discounts on student rents. However, the majority of students with private landlords are having to pay the full remainder of their rent due to clauses in their tenancy agreements. These agreements recommend that students contact their landlords immediately. In extremely rare cases, some tenancy agreements contain a “force majeure” clause allowing parties to terminate a contract if events beyond their control prevent them for performing their obligations under it.

Digital Inclusion – Keeping students in contact with their families

Digital Inclusion is now more important than ever. It is helping the nation to stay connected during this unprecedented time. According to NHS Digital, digital inclusion is when people have the ability to use digital devices such as smartphones and the internet and have access to the internet through broadband, Wi-Fi or mobile. With our Wi-Fi installations for student blocks, students will be able to stay in constant contact with their families with 24/7 quality Wi-Fi connections. Allowing them to stay online on social media and use video chat software such as Zoom and FaceTime.
