What better coping mechanism for exam period is there than a brand new campus cutie to take our minds off things? Meet Geoff, a U3 English student and music aficionado with a quick wit and a borderline-unhealthy appreciation for Owen Wilson movies. P.S. He’s also in a band. So read on all about him, and happy holidays, collegiettes!
