As COVID-19 cases in China sink to new lows, the world's largest population of university students is heading back to campus in a migration defined by lockdowns, patriotic education and cutting-edge surveillance equipment.

"But they haven't yet told us the specific application process or what reasons will be considered reasonable," said one student at Beijing's Renmin University.
