Freshers

Following a brand new batch of students at Swansea University as they make new friends, learn how to fend for themselves and party their way through a manic two weeks at the start of term. In the opening programme, the teenagers say an emotional goodbye to mum and dad, childhood friends and familiar home towns as they move into their new homes in Wales's second city. Feisty politics undergraduate Chloe gets lots of attention, but soon proves she is no pushover, rugby-mad James from Crewe hurls himself into the party scene, and super-geek Michael struggles as life away from his mum spells one domestic disaster after another.

Would-be Army officer James feels the stress as lectures begin, Jake's tangled love life takes a further twist, and Amelia finds the temptations of a wild paint party too much to resist. Plus, with money worries mounting, Chloe gets a job dancing in a bar, and physics-mad Michael hunts for the girl of his dreams.

Party animal James must try to forego alcohol to prove he has what it takes to get into the Officer Training Corps. Jake and Fin unite in their love of music and take the Swansea rock scene by storm with a gig in town, while Amelia returns home and reveals the extent of her partying to her mother. Chloe is excited to be reunited with her boyfriend after two weeks apart, and Michael hopes to win the heart of student nurse Megan by taking her on a date to a medieval battle re-enactment.
