LONDON - The University of Glasgow has offered a rent rebate to residents and support with securing food and medical supplies for self-isolating students in a sign of the huge challenge that colleges are facing when Covid-19 outbreaks hit campus.

But coronavirus outbreaks have forced some colleges to ask students to self-isolate in their rooms and follow lectures online, threatening to leave students isolated when they have made few friends and raising questions over their tuition fees. "We understand how difficult and stressful this situation is," the University of Glasgow said on Twitter."We are here to support you through it."

In Manchester, students at residential halls at Manchester Metropolitan University have to self-isolate for 14 days after 127 tested positive for Covid-19.
