Outreach workers welcoming students to Manchester have faced a freshers\u2019 week like no other as covid-19 regulations left Oxford Road \u201cshockingly empty\u201d.<\/p>\n

Fears are growing for student wellbeing as lockdown restrictions create an uncertain and lonely environment. \u201cIt\u2019s heartbreaking\u201d says Maral Assadzadeh, who works for Fusion<\/a>, a charity supporting students moving to university.<\/p>\n

Having been involved student outreach for over four years, she is concerned that \u201cOxford Road has never been this quiet” and that “with the restrictions it\u2019s harder to meet students, meet their needs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Maral fears that Manchester\u2019s campuses are lacking in \u201cvibrant energy and life that students bring\u201d this year.<\/p>\n

She has found that students are \u201cso anxious and cautious\u201d, particularly with further lockdown measures looming.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In previous years, student ambassadors and outreach workers have connected with hundreds of thousands of students on Oxford Road throughout September.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally you can barely walk down the street\u201d, said Grace MacDonald, who has been a student ambassador for Ivy Church<\/a> which meets on Oxford Road for two years.<\/p>\n

She has found it \u201cdifficult to engage\u201d with students in the current uncertain climate.<\/p>\n

Where you would normally find large groups of new students exploring Manchester\u2019s campuses, she has generally observed smaller groups of two or three, socially distanced and wearing masks. While young people have recently been blamed for an increase in coronavirus cases<\/a>, student workers say that most Manchester students appear to be complying with government regulations.<\/p>\n

Maral said: \u201cI\u2019ve noticed that with so many in halls testing positive, students realise how crucial it is to follow the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

Labour leader Keir Starmer has today warned that deserted student spaces like Oxford Road are indicative of a \u201clooming mental health crisis\u201d<\/a> among students, dismissing claims that students are to blame for Covid spikes. He has called for the government to put into place a tailored support package<\/a>, describing university as \u201ca very lonely place to be\u201d this autumn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
