After being here for the first term, i've seen more Uni of's being patronising towards UWE students - I chose UWE over Uni of for 2 reasons: I didn't want to be around those snobs (sorry to group you all) and secondly because UWE's Social Sciences department is better, and rising.

I currently go to Leeds met (transfering to UWE for a different course) and the rivalry up here is just ridiculous. Heard so many stories of the guys from uni of throwing drinks over girls after finding out they go to Leeds met.

Always humorous when you take a uni of student home after a night out, cause they came they'd never touch a Met student.

Now I can see this happens in Bristol too.. Funny though that I have a small group of friends that go UWE and also Uni of, my friends at Uni of all mention there regret of going Uni of instead of UWE for various reasons..

From current experience, Uni of's are pretty up themselves - experience from going out with someone from a uni of for 2 years (whilst I was still in sixth form) and having flat parties (MET VS UNI drinking games - Met's wiping the floor with Uni of's then Uni of's finding it necessary to think our degrees mean nothing when compared to them..)

Hardly said in jest, we both know this. And i was asking for the reason why you thought you were "better". You my have straight A's at A level but you have the social capacity of a tea pot


"The social capacity of a teapot"
Oh my, I'm going to have to start using that, it's bloody brilliant.
Also, I'm starting UWE in September, I'm predicted 3 A*'s and I got an offer from both Bristol and UWE and I chose to attend UWE over Uni of B. I think it's unfair to label anyone as stupid for attending a certain University, just because it might not be Russell group. At the end of the day everyone who gets into Uni is hugely clever as we have all managed to attain A-levels. Well done us.
