WHEN a fun-loving York student heard that a survey had branded her university the country's dullest, she was determined to prove the judges wrong.

And this weekend 20-year-old Rebecca Garratt is doing exactly that.

Rebecca is through to the final ten out of 3,000, in a search for Britain's maddest student.

Yesterday she left for the USA to carry out madcap stunts in New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Rebecca will have to bluff her way on to a Broadway stage show in New York, take part in a Las Vegas wedding and strip at sunset - on Sunset Strip, LA.
