    Its a society so basically a group of people from all years doing every subject and they all generally are from the North, you do get others but thats fine cos the group is basically there for people to meet up and drink and have a few good nights out together

    Hello.

    Going to the open day on the 8th but will probably be applying because I've liked what I've seen online. I'm hoping to do English Language.
