    Im settling into uni well Ive made lots of close friends already. In #FirstYearModel, the workload is at a good level and I feel the discussions in class make it really enjoyable and the lessons are engaging. The structure of #FirstYearModel gives me time to do more activities outside of uni like netball, exercising and spending time with friends and family. #FYMstudents
