AtmosphereIt is common knowledge throughout the college, that Block F2 has by far the best atmosphere - not to mention the most attractive and outgoing male inhabitants. One particularly well known "legend" around campus is Basim Al-Ahmadi, a rising football star with an unwavering ability to charm both the young and attractive and the elderly (and rich) females. His fellow delegate in F2 Block is Jed Meers, who has become well known around the campus for his knowledge on criminal law and is tipped to own the future money-making law machines. Not to mention, he owns all the best port wines... Not to mention, James Shaw, who has an incredible ability to analyse historical events...and succeed in his daily push ups...AS WRITTEN IN THE FLAT CONSTITUTION ;) Last but not least, Andy Kearney, a feared rugby player with his big biceps and chest muscles, has made an immediate impact in the university, especially on the 22 acre sports fields.
