Type of Students

I noticed that the Cam's board have started a discussion on the stereotypical students for each subject, eg:

"English students fall in two distinct groups #1 those who spend all their time acting / watching dvds / lazing around, and #2 those who collect dust in the library...Historians fall into the latter group, shaking off the dust to attend the occasional lecture on medieval fairy tales / witchcraft / the cultural impact of jazz...Philosophers argue in the bar about nonsense...Theologians are sexual deviants...Engineers make things out of spaghetti / beer cans. Mathmo's use pencils, dress badly, and drink beer...Lawyers become loud and smug once they've sorted themselves a training contract...Land economists wish they were lawyers...SPS students plug charities and fair-trade down your neck when they know you're broke...Natsci's do colouring in...Compsci's sleep by day, watch porn by night. etc etc etc" [quote from the Cambridge board]

I think we should start one on here!!! ....

WAITTTTT!!! Everyone's confused!!! I posted a copy of what they've written on the cam's board (hence I wrote "eg" and put it all in quotes!)

I want some of the current oxford students to make one up related to Oxfords!

Most of the Law finalists I know happen to be just as withdrawn and depressive as us first years :P

I guess Oxford mathematicians are a bit richer & smarter than those in Cambridge.
I particularly HATE pencils. It only makes my papers even messier. :mad:

No - just students.

i think it's the other way round. especially since that virtually everybody in the UK Maths team applies and is accepted at Trinity, Cambridge.

Showers just remind me even more of sex, so I get someone really unattractive to dump buckets of water on my head. My school isn't really fond of this solution because it's a health and safety hazard but they see it as preferable to me saying "That's a phallic symbol!" every ten seconds.

Well Freud would have you beilieve that the real reason is because the headmaster has unconscious longings for you and has projected these feelings onto you. He thinks if he doesn't do something radical involving cold water you're gonna jump him.
