student community Facebook page, Brumfess where an anonymous social media user explained they'd been pretending to attend the university. As well as fooling their parents with the lie, students attending the uni had also fallen for it, so they had to pretend they were sitting exams in different rooms. According to the Facebook post, the alleged student explained they had "very strict" parents and had been afraid to tell them they had "spectacularly" failed their A-Levels. They wrote: "My parents are very strict and wouldn't accept me not going to university. "My parents aren't going to be happy with me not having a grad job but I've blamed it on corona."
