University College Cork (UCC) students are being advised by their union to not commit to long-term leases until they know how many hours they will spend on-campus each week.

In an open letter to students, Jamie Fraser, the UCC student union (UCCSU) welfare officer, called on both landlords and the heads of colleges at UCC to show flexibility during this "tumultuous time."
