Summary
Crocus 52266 is a university student who has a bit more than a year of full-time study left and plans to spread it over the next two years. Last semester they went to campus only once most weeks because the hour's drive each way was exhausting. Extra exam time and flexible deadlines helped a bit, but group work stayed the most energy-intensive part. Each semester was harder than the last and they no longer recovered well between semesters.

Their words about each treatment

extra time (including dedicated rest time) on exams, and flexible deadlines on assignments. These help a bit but they don’t apply to things like group assignments
