Does this still go on at Exeter University

More like boring rich snobby white people

Why do they choose Exeter? Kind of away from the clubbing and bar scene?

Is this the Safer Sex Ball where everyone dressed 'up' in underwear (the guy's actually kinda overdressed lol)? I think it got banned (I'm not longer at uni, but it was still going on in my time) and is no longer going on.

It was banned the year after I started, due to some students having sex on CCTV in the forum somewhere, ostensibly.

It probably should've been banned sooner since as I understand aside from the general alcohol abuse and potential issues that stemmed from that, usually at least one group would go in black face...

No idea if they ever brought it back after I left though.

It got ‘banned’ in that it couldn’t be held in Exeter, but the past two years it was held in Torquay. They hired loads of double decker busses to ferry people down...

That is completely bonkers. These clowns probably dreamed this up whilst at boarding school.

Can I ask why you're so against it?

It encourages laddish and loutish behaviour. And it tarnishes the reputation of the uni, and uni life generally.

Maybe, but 'laddish' behaviour happens anyway, and it's not like the girls aren't going for the same reason.
And I wouldn't say it damages the uni's reputation that much, if it does it's not really the concern of the students. It sounds pretty fun in my opinion, I'd go.

If any of the ladies get raped, then don't come crying to the uni for help. Even the police wouldn't be too impressed.

I can't believe I have to explain this to who I assume is an adult, but wearing less clothes does not equal consent. A r*pist will r*pe regardless of whether their victim is stark naked or fully covered, it makes no difference and it's worrying that you would suggest otherwise.

I don't understand this victim blaming mentality?

I went in my first year, and it was great. In no way did it encourage laddish behaviour. Yeah, there were a few people who were creeps, but the large majority of people that went? They partied with their friends, with a great DJ, for what was a fun unique night.

Also, I'm not 'rich', I didn't go to boarding school or anything like that... I don't understand where this mentality of victim blaming, or assuming that everyone in Exeter is rich or went to boarding school has come from, but it's false and harmful.

Are you a male?

I am yep. I went in a group with two males and five females.

Was there tight security to look after the welfare of females? Bouncers?
