university sweatshirts/T-shirts

I'm not in the best of moods tonight, so apologies if I'm labouring my point too much. However, with all due respect, I get tired of people making assumptions about me all the time because I go to Oxford (and believe me, it IS all the time), and I get tired of people thinking it's a legitimate prejudice when it's really a prejudice like any other. I wish people would make up their own minds about me rather than assuming I'm some pretentious show-off. If that opinion is "she's a moany cow" then that's their perogative, because it's at least got a basis

well then either don't wear uni merch or don't go to oxford. simple as lol

I bet no-one's going to attack you about that, because you're going to Leeds. If you were going to Oxford on the other hand, you'd be hung drawn and quartered because everyone's determined to prove that Oxford students are all show-offs and pretentious and stuck up

i get prejudice all the time, becuase of the way i dress and the way my hair is, i'm considred 'weird'. i get spat at, beaten up and have abuse hurled at me all the time. and yeah it ****s me off, i'm only being myself.i can't be anybody else. you don't have to tell people you go to oxford. you don't have to bring it up. people in the street are only going to know if you wear uni merch or walk round with a loudspeaker lol if people are prejudice then there prolly not worth it.

Good point
I think that perhaps the stereotype comes mainly people being insecure about their own ability rather than having any particular substance; most Oxbridge people that I've seen post on this forum are perfectly normal (though undoubtably talented).

But despite all the assumptions, I bet you wouldn't have it any other way. So be happy

go for it.

My mate played lacrosse at uni in america, got loads of free ****, eg two champion tracksuits with the uni name and his lacrosse number on them ( both hoodie and pants), about 10 t-shirts the same, shorts and vests and a personalised helmet. Now that's what i'm talking about. Although he does play lacrosse, which makes him a gimp.

And to whoever it is that's planning on getting a notts uni hoodie, let me know when you're planning on wearing it and i'll come and watch you get robbed

I love my Bristol hoodie - it's big and comfy and warm. I wear it as much as possible when i'm in shopping malls, just to see if someone would kick me out...

I'm willing to bet that whatever I'd have said, you'd have claimed it was pretentious, because I go to Oxford.

Yep.



Typical response of a highly pretentious Oxford student.

Rather a pretentious Oxford student than a bitter non-Oxford student

That's a rather pretentious presumption
