Exeter Nerd Culture?

Nowhere, not even Oxbridge can beat the nerdiness of UCL. Seriously they are like rats in their computer cluster dungeons. I have never seen people looking so nerdy in my life. I remember on open day, there was this guy with a big jewfro, round glasses, thick vermillion sweater, and massive jack-ups in his jeans coupled with tacky white trainers. I will never forget when soon after on the same day I saw this ultra nerdy looking guy pored over 2 laptops and a pile of books through a window while outside it was nice and sunny with hot girls frolicking around.add that to the maths jokes we used to tell for entertainment in the kitchen..

Actually I just remembered Imperial. While I have never actually seen any nerds there I have heard stories....


Imperial defines nerdiness:biggrin:

Is it really that bad? I'm in year 12 and I'm considering going there but if it's really that bad I might reconsider...

What if we met on Sunday afternoon/night, October 2, in front of an easy-to-locate place and then decided what to do from there? That gives everyone a good week to go through welcome week, get acquainted with all the places and societies and city, etc. and it'll be a nice way to end the week before classes start.


Ive heard worse plans see you guys in october
October 2 plan sounds good to me!
Also, I'm from Toronto, and go to U of T (as my super unoriginal username attests). I'm doing an exchange to exeter this year. I've never been to Yellowknife, but I have a friend who's been to the North West Territories who says it's gorgeous. I'd love to go some time :smile: [Sorry - totally irrelevant to nerd culture...]
Hallo!

Have just found this thread and am ridiculously pleased there are other proud nerds coming to Exeter this year :biggrin:
Am coming from Belfast and there is a sad lack of nerd culture here :frown:

Anyone here studying Sociology and/or living in Birks Grange self catered?

Yay for Who fans and nerdfighters :tardis:

October 2nd meetup sounds great, any more details?

See you all soon!

As far as I can tell they're on the same road (new north) ?

Not looking forward to the trek up to lectures from there :s-smilie:
At least it will provide toned legs after a while?

Yeah, I can't work out from Google Maps which is catered and which part is self catered, I think the catered part has The Ram bar in it?

Indeed, I don't think I'll bother with a gym subscription :P

The interactive map on the Exeter accommodation website is not much more helpful, I think you may be right about The Ram being in catered though. Lucky you! :wink:

Was debating about joining some athletic society (poss swimming or tennis) but will maybe hold off on this until I can walk up the hill without wheezing :colondollar:
How about this for the meetup:

October 2nd, around 4 pm, meet in front of the cathedral? Then we could go get dinner somewhere and just get to know one another.

maybe we should make this a facebook event so we can recognise people or something?

That sounds like a plan - who wants to create it?

If someone does, just post the name of the event here so we can search it on fb and 'attend' or not.

:smile:
im not exactly sober right now, so if you want to your more then welcome haha
That's brill! Just clicked 'attend'

Love the name you chose btw :biggrin:
