The Secret Life of Students - Lauren

AGE: 18
FROM: Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire
LIVING: Catered Halls of Residence
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
STUDYING: History
SOCIAL NETWORKING: Lauren uses a wide range of social media, she is relatively active on Facebook and Instagram but can send up to 100 tweets PER DAY on Twitter.

Lauren LOVES to study. Her dream job would be to stay in education until the day she dies.

She loves history and can't wait to learn – one of the reasons she chose to go to Leicester was because of the Richard III discovery.

She doesn't drink and is nervous about stepping foot in a club for the first time in Fresher’s week. She idolises Anne Frank, and has read her diary about 39 times.

She's extremely confident, very opinionated and highly intelligent. She’s hoping to make ‘friends’ with her lecturers and wants to write a thesis as soon as she can.

She's a massive tweeter and loves to watch sport. She hopes to establish relationships at university. How will she cope making friends with those other than her lecturers without the usual bonding mechanism of drinking and partying?
