Kyle Empringham | 4th Year Biology “Coming to university was exciting and daunting, all at the same time! I remember going to see IRIS the day after I arrived. I wasn’t sure what to expect - but I found myself laughing constantly and learning a thing or two about the school. It was one of the first things my room mate and I did - and three years later, we still quote it whenever we see each other!”
