Ben was one of those people you hated at school; the one who got an A and complained it wasn't higher enough -.- but his mum was right - he was arrogant.
I felt bad for Tanya as some of my Uni friends were like that; leaving university as soon as they finished, doing their assignments last minute and barely coping! I'm glad she got on better in Semester 2.
We definitely saw the softer side to Brenda, she did struggle into university life and how to balance work, university and social life (a lot of students do in the first semester). The only part I didn't agree with is her moaning about being confused in lectures so didn't attend (if she got there in time, she probably wouldn't be), I'm not too sure about her outburst about the lecturers needing to attend a public speaking lecture as I've never had a 'proper' lecture before but aren't the lecturers there to guide you? The rest is up to you. I felt sorry for her when she pulled an all nighter to do a project and she ended up having a panic attack at work (some people called her an attention seeker)...
The only things I've learnt while watching it are:
• I have nothing to worry about settling into uni.
• Leicester is so strict with attendance.
