But my friend wont see this, and seems to be in love with him or something, she's even thinking about not going back to uni so that she can stay with him. I don't know what to say to talk some sense into her, and I'd hate to see her mess up her life because of this guy! what do I do?

This is a tough one.... and also depends how long you and your friend have been friends.
I have a very close friend... we have been friends since we were 7, so 35 years, and we have always been honest with each other so I do know that I could tell her what I was feeling and that I was concerned about her.
This guy may have changed, he may be different with her, it may all be a big show this rogue act just to make other people think he isn't a softy. Why don't you ask your friend what it is that attracts her to him, she may tell you different, in that he is loving, caring and good to her etc; she may then ask you what you think of him, and you could then say "well I didn't think he would be your type, but obviously he has changed!" This then may get her thinking on your wavelength.
However, love is blind, so failing that, you will just have to be there to pick up all the pieces when she sees him in his true colours.
Good luck!
