The Campus Style Team at Plymouth University have rounded up some of the best dressed students on campus during first and second term. With Plymouth students being lucky enough to study so near some of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall, student style usually reflects the windy, coastal weather. We like to get to know our fashionable students, so we ask them a few questions about student life and their style. These were some of our favourites:
Sam Dawkins 3rd Year International Relations and Politics
We spotted Sam on Valentine's Day, and asked him what sort of style he would like to see on the opposite sex on a date: "If I were to go on a Valentine's date, I would wear a Tweed jacket and a bow tie. With girls, I think style of substance. They should look sophisticated and not over the top."

Charlotte Madgwick 3rd Year Architecture
Charlotte's adorable shoes are from a recent course trip to Florence. She says her favourite thing about Spring style is that she can toss aside her only coat and enjoy time outside, just like she did during her Architecture sports day in Central Park this week!

Michael Atayero 1st Year Civil Engineering
We asked Michael what sort of style he would like to see on a date with the opposite sex, and he said: "If I went out for dinner, I would like my date to be looking sophisticated. Heels look classy, but not over the top make up-wise.'"

Meng Zhao 3rd Year 3D Design
When we asked Meng what her plans were for Easter, her face lit up with a bashful and nostalgic smile. Like many foreign and exchange students, home feels like a far-away dream. Meng plans to spend her Easter at home in China with her heavily missed boyfriend and equally missed family and friends.
