It’s hard not to recognise Jack, what with his cheeky grin and his mischievous antics, you’ll never have a dull moment with him. But, while it can’t be disputed that he is the first port of call for any of his mates in need of a good laugh, it’s the genuine heart of gold and caring nature, that lie beneath his laddy exterior that truly qualifies him as this week’s campus cutie. Enjoy!
Name: Jack Bland
Uni Year: 2nd

What societies are you involved in Jack?
I’m media sec of Snowsports which takes up a lot of my time. I went on a ski season before I came to Exeter so I have a genuine interest in Snowsports. Plus we have some awesome trips, some massive socials and it’s full of a great bunch of people.
If you had to take three items to a desert island what would they be?
I’d definitely take a boat. But you’ve got to make the most of an opportunity to be on a desert island so, I’d take a bottle of rum so I could properly chill in the sun and my last item would be, oh, obviously a stapler… It goes without saying! (Random?! HCX love it!)
What’s your favourite place in the world?
La Manga in Spain. Me and my family go every year with our best family friends. It’s pretty suave. It’s nice to be able to go out and eat good food, do any activity under the sun and still be able to chill out.
What’s your favourite memory of uni so far?
It’s a hard one because I always have a laugh on a night out and make great (blurry) memories but, the best night out I’ve ever had was on the Christmas ski trip last year in Tignes. I can’t really explain why but I reckon it had something to do with being on the slopes, the people I was with and the level of intoxication.
What’s your ideal date?
Off the top of my head I would say, something involving a yacht, a deserted cove, an exotic setting, a nice meal, some fairy lights, a cocktail or two and I guess seeing what happens with those ingredients.
What do you look for in a girl?
I like being able to have a laugh with someone so a playful outlook on life is a necessity, a good figure and a cheeky smile.
Is there anyone special in your life?
I’d like to think there is.
