Wake up, students – the freedoms you take for granted are under threat

Students have come to take freedom of movement – for study, for work and to travel – for granted, says Beth Button. Some don’t realise the threat that leaving the EU poses to that freedom. Universities have focused on economic productivity, research and funding when they talk about a Brexit, but to students the EU means a great deal more. We mustn’t take it for granted.
