Refund half of all student accommodation rent and tuition fees.
I want the government and private companies to refund half of tuition fee and student accommodation for 2020. This is due to coronavirus outbreaks in many universities restricting students to live in small halls and use online learning materials whilst still being at full price for a normal year.
In my situation I am still at home after an outbreak at my university hall in Manchester using online learning. I got the same level of education from my free college qualification, and still paying rent for a room I am not using but still need to have access to due to possible changes in restrictions in the future this is a scam and we deserve reparations. Full price education in times like these shouldn't even be considered.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Refunding tuition fees or accommodation fees would be a matter for individual universities and providers of student accommodation, not the Government or House of Commons.
We have published the following petitions relating to tuition fees for the current academic year, which you might like to sign:
Require universities to partially refund tuition fees for 20/21 due to Covid-19: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/324762
Lower university tuition fees for students until online teaching ends: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/552911
Government subsidise this year's university tuition fees: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/552814
You could start a petition calling on the Government to reimburse students for university accommodation they do not use during the Covid-19 outbreak.
