The Student Room Group

Freshers and new starters at DMU, come introduce yourself

Ok firstly i'd like to say i've taken this original idea from Hayley who posted a similar thread except i noticed that was for leicester university students. Thanks very much for the idea and if your annoyed then feel free to pm me and kick my ass haha!! Seeing as we don't have our own DMU sub section I thought it would be best to start this thread for any other fellow DMU freshers! So guys introduce yourself, i'll start off! Once again thanks very much Hayley for the idea...
