A lot of lab sessions in certain courses are just learning to use CAD. a lot of stem graduates from UL would struggle to recognise basic lab equipment when in industry. Not specific to UL. The proposed 1 in 3 weeks on campus would go a long way towards improving education as the onus is on the faculty to ensure that students know what they are doing before they come on campus.

I know of 2 students who have decided to defer a year as they feel they won't do well with this type of learning. Not sure I would be self motivated enough either to be honest. I work so much better in group settings. I've tried online courses a few times but never completed them.

I'd say the rental market will only be impacted by those living within commuting distance of UL who are able to travel in for a week at a time and therefore won't have the same requirement or desire to rent closer to UL.
