I can only speak for past/present me. Probably all three - travel, self study, read, etc. That's what I'd do. Then again, I'm thinking UK. The lockdowns here aren't such that you literally can't go outside, and the minimum cost of living (due to our safety nets) really isn't that high for a youngster willing to live on beans. Education is great. I'll be learning until my brain gives out on me. But if you want to tell me that my first year of university just became sitting in front of a screen and I'll be paying for it - yeah, sod that, I'll take the tent and the backpack and see you all when people have regained sanity. In the outside world (including University) people do things like obtaining life long friendships, meeting partners, generally just sniffing the flowers of life. If I had the pressure of my course and I was stuck in a box I'd go mental before week 3. No comraderie, no friends, nothing, it's all pixels mate. лол.
