Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Nevertheless, this work has made simplifying assumptions and our results therefore have limitations. Student numbers and estimates of regional movements between term-time and out-of-term time addresses were taken from pre-pandemic academic years; these movements may not accurately reflect the situation for the 2020/2021 academic year during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Nevertheless, this work has made simplifying assumptions and our results therefore have limitations. Student numbers and estimates of regional movements between term-time and out-of-term time addresses were taken from pre-pandemic academic years; these movements may not accurately reflect the situation for the 2020/2021 academic year during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we assumed there would be no students beginning term with COVID-like symptoms, and there was no transmission to students from the wider community. Relaxation of either of these assumptions is likely to generate a larger outbreak throughout the term. When constructing the contact networks, for simplicity we assumed each student maintained consistent contacts throughout the entire term with others in their household, and selected others from their cohort and the organised societies and sports clubs they were members of. While the assumption for households may reasonably hold, given shared use of communal spaces, one would expect less rigidity in the study and organised social group related contacts. We also used a fixed distribution for drawing random daily social contacts throughout the term, whereas in reality it may be expected the distribution of such contacts to vary temporally. A set of distributions could instead be used to capture these temporal heterogeneities, were the necessary data available to initially discern the amount of time periods warranting a distinct distribution and then subsequentl...
