What happens when a cohort of students, having been held captive in the benign bubble-wrap world of The Education System for nigh on two decades, is released en-masse into the real world? Drama, drama, drama. Just like TV. More specifically, just like in the show Friends. And, like the characters in the show, you’re young, photogenic and lost. Only you graduated in a recession and there’s no way your landlord is going to let you paint your walls any crazy colour that comes into your head, mainly because you don’t have a landlord, just a ruthless housing company. Still — here’s life post-education, a la Friends episode titles. Cliff-hangers guaranteed.
