Rach, Maddy and holly are all 2nd year communication students studying at Massey.
This group of girls seemed as though they were close friends and having a social coffee and quick bite to eat to fill in the gap between their classes.They all strongly agreed that they wish that they had stronger coffee at tussock but over all feels like a big well equipped.They have had experiences where food has been forgotten in the rush hour a couple of times.They describe the atmosphere as orange,blue and brown,you don't feel out of place.
Rach describes herself as a deadly snake at home,Maddy is a rooster,and holly is a cat.But at tussock they are all dolphins-very chilled out.
