university for each student? (3 marks)
Gemma
Amelia
Mark
Gemma North, 22, is at the University of Manchester.
I’m in my third year at university. Medicine is a very
hard degree, so I often have to stay up late to study. I
like working hard, though, as I enjoy the subject. I’m
also a very sociable person and have made lots of
great friends in the drama club. I think the hardest
thing about university is living with new people. I
didn’t enjoy the first year because I didn’t get on with
my housemates, but now I share a house with three
friends and it’s great.
Auriane Bourque, 19, is at University College London.
