Josie Williams is a student. Well, more accurately, she's an apprehensive fresher who's about to move into South Halls with five dysfunctional flatmates. From beer races and breakdancing to lectures on gender bending, Josie throws herself into student life. But when an ex-boyfriend turns up in halls and a flatmate starts behaving suspiciously, campus life really gets interesting. Josie's year as a fresher, breathlessly recorded in her diary, is a revealing journey into the high emotions and intense experiences that make up student life.
