Most Rah/Posh University

Ahhh what courses would you say attract the majority of 'rahs'?

Worried now that Newcastle is my firm, but I'm hoping that Computer Science isn't generally their thing. :P

Oxbridge and Durham I reckon.

Birmingham definitely isn't.

There probably are a few knocking about but with 28,000 students I don't bump into many :smile:

Haha, I've never seen any of these 'rahs' be horrible to anyone though, unless it was provoked. I personally am not rude unless someone insults me. So I don't get why there's all the hate. :s-smilie:

You don't have to be outwardly rude or horrible to someone to be found annoying though.

Though saying that, I got picked on by the rahs at my old school because I was a little bit goth/emo and a massive nerd. Maybe that's where my prejudice comes from.

I agree, but I've never found them annoying...then again, my friends and myself seem to fit the TSR definition of one...as I said, we're not rude to people for no reason though.

Aww, that sucks that you got picked on. I got picked on by chavs (there were even chavs at private school, they were on a damn scholarship, don't ask me how because they were thick as well), so that's one reason I dislike them haha.

In my experience: music, history, history of art, art history, ancient history, the art of history in music and medicine

Chavs are no better. They sat on the walls round our school and yelled at us when we walked by. They're openly aggressive towards other people. I've found with rahs they're much more passive aggressive.

In short-

Chav: OI YOU F***IN POSH W***ERS BLEEHHHHHH LOLZ
Rah: What, you can't afford your own car?

LOL that's like what used to happen with us. But we'd only say it after we got called "posh tw*ts" or whatever.

And you haven't offended me yet so I forgive you for being a rah.

It makes sense though, because if they're going to mock other people's backgrounds (the posh tw*t remarks and the like), then they should expect it back.

Haha, thanks...I think. :tongue:

wrong
bath does not at all feature in the top 10, nottingham is higher but still not close. LSE is only good for economics and such, and overall, is is much worse than most.you miss out leiscter, which over all, is in the top 7.

Check it :smile:

What the hell are you talking about? The person was talking about the Sunday Times tables for highest private school intake, and HEFCE tables, not league tables.

What the hell are you talking about with Leicester in the top 7? For what? What does LSE being good for economics have anything to do with this thread?

Been smoking something exotic?

Tbh, Exeter even at secondary school/college level is pretty rah. And there's only one state college as most of the sixth forms are private.

I don't care, I went there for college and I'm going there for uni, I don't care if they're rah, they're generally nice.
