Covid-19 Ruined My College Experience

I talked to my brother Eoghan, a third year college student in Waterford Institute of Technology, who finished his Criminal Justice degree online this May. He was in his second year of college when the pandemic started and he told me about his experience with online learning over the past year. He had the full college experience whilst in Waterford as he lived with six friends and went on nights out every week. The transition from living with friends to back home with our parents was a hard one and we discussed the most difficult moments of the last year (especially when it came to bickering over the dishwasher).
