The covid-19 pandemic has completely changed university student life and culture on campuses, which has taken major social and cultural aspects out of the university experience for current students. In this podcast episode, three university students discuss how the pandemic has affected their personal involvement in student culture over 2021 regarding socialising, joining clubs and societies, and playing varsity sports. Featuring the voices of Roeloff Boettger (Stellenbosch University), Camdon Watson (University of Pretoria) and Chisom Uduezue (Wits University).
