"Prestigous" Uni students looking down the the other Uni's students in the same city

Can't say for definite but as least one Birmingham medic has told me theres a little hierarchy in Birmingham:

Birmingham Uni > Aston > Birmingham City.

True. Uni of Leeds students look down on Leeds Met students. They don't mingle much at all. There's even a song about the difference in prestige / gulf between Uni of Leeds and Leeds Met.

''If you didn't get into Leeds go to Met'' (to the tune of 'If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands)!!

I'm a Trent student, and there is a fair bit of 'banter' between us, yes they are the better uni, but we have the better nights out and it's always great to see their faces when we thrash them at varsity time!
Despite that though, it's all seen as friendly and a bit of a joke in my opinion, there's always uni of students at trent club nights, and we never really have any trouble... they just come cause we have the better nights and the better looking people

Hey,
I was just wondering, do those at say Oxford, Sheffield, Manchester etc socially interact with people at the lower ranked uni (Oxford brookes, Hallam, Manchester Met) or do you just generally stay with people at your own uni?

My cousin went to oxford brookes and said that the majority of oxford students didnt really bother with those who werent from oxford themselves.

Thanks!

lols.
Im from Nottingham University; "and your dad works for my dad".

Whoever said that is incredibly childish.

Whoever said that is incredibly childish.

Leeds uni students also like to sing "Your dad works for my dad, your dad works for my dad, na na na na" at Met students.

Don't worry, I'm on your side. My brother went to Anglia Ruskin, my sister to middlesex, and I'm going to an arts college.

Welcome to the world of student elitism.

These chants are brilliant



What tune is this to?

I go to De Montfort University in Leicester and i'm beyond surprised at how intense our rivarly is. Being a football fan myself i'm used to big rivalrys between my football team and our rivals, so i was quite pleased with the intensity of it all, but its beyond silly sometimes. Uni of Leicester look down on us massively but they're absolutely bloody awful at dishing out banter, they just gie us the usual, you're a crap stupid uni chants and we have a whole host. Its commonly known amongst DMU students that Leicester uni is absolutely full to the brim of stuck up posh students, one of my favourite chants at UOL is You can stick you silver spoon up your arse. We absolutely despise eachother, at our varsity football game they segregated the two unis with a police pressence, for the rugby they didnt do this and it was incredibly tense and there were several bust ups were i was sat and they had to bring stewards to surround both sets of fans. Also on the battle of the uni bar crawl its incredibly tense, the only time ive ever been beaten up in my lfie was in what i can only call a small riot outside our SU at the end of the night, three UOL students kicked surrounded me and kicked the **** out of me admittedly. I've visted several of my friends unis and i can honestly say our Rivarly is the feircest.
