    9. This feeling.

    10. An estate agent trying to tell you this nonsense.

    11. Seeing lots of these guys.

    12. Dissertation disaster one-upmanship.

    13. If you're lucky though, you get a new place to call home.

    14. And even though sometimes all you could afford to eat was toast, you could do it until the small hours of the morning.

    15. Talking of friends - when else do you get to make so many new ones, with such varied backgrounds and world views?

    16. ...Or immerse yourself so deeply in your favourite subject, even if it sounds dull to the rest of the world?
