    TSR students at University of Plymouth
    Since there are a fair few of us now, I thought it would be a good idea for each person to post a bit of information about themselves in this thread. It will then make it easy for people to see at a glance which members from TSR are studying at Plymouth.

    I think it would be a good idea to keep any discussion in the other threads so that this thread remains concise and useful Below is a suggested template, but feel free to change it / add additional questions as you see fit.

    TSR Name: nikk.
    Course: BSc Human Biosciences.
    Year: Second Year.
    Halls/Private accomodation: Private accomodation in Mutley.
    About you: I am 22 and been living in Plymouth for about a year. I study at UoP, which is a very modern university with fantastic facilities. Prior to university, I spent 3 years working for Cornwall County Council as an IT engineer before deciding it was not for me. I decided to take up my lifelong dream of becoming a doctor and set about making it a reality. I hope to gain entry into medical school following my degree.

    If any perspective students have any questions, please feel free to ask
