Hall Spirit and Inter-Hall Competitions

Hey,

I'm an offer-holder for 08-09 and I'd like to ask about the atmosphere at the different halls. Is there any kind of pride for your hall or rivalry between halls? Any hall (sports) teams and inter-hall competitions?

Halls that I am particularly interested in are BH, CC, AV, JM, HB and LS.

Thanks!

Dont know about the inter-hall stuff, but certainly some halls make good friends with each other. JM, Rootes, Whitefields seem to be make good mates. I would forget Heron Bank and Lakeside if you want an intersting and active social life, they are quiet. AV is a bit quieter than JM, but people tend to make good friends because of the common rooms, not sure about kitchen to kitchen though.

Not much inter-hall rivalry as far as I'm concerned unless JM coming over and setting off my fire alarm counts.

There's a slight friendly rivalry between the Westwood halls, which can veer towards the aggressive when people are walking home drunk.

Pfft, Knightcote are little wimps who get in a huff just because we threw some pasta at them :rolleyes:

And yeah, bottom floor Hampton have been involved in all the interhall violence I've heard of.

Not really any hall competition since everyone has friends from every hall.

Except when it snows...
Rootes would have a civil war (old vs new) while JM and AV fights
Rootes would then attack JM and move towards AV
Claycroft is too peaceful to join in the fight
Westwood promised to enter the Rootes and JM war next time it snows

There's a massive water war coming up too, we'll see what happens then.

There's also the odd stereotypes of people from each hall.

Rootes are the noisiest, rowdiest and most social; Arthur Vick and Jack Martin are pretentious snobs.
Rubbish stereotypes quoted in jest more than anything: everyone knows people from every accomodation block that defies them.

Don't get too excited, last year there was a Facebook event for "the world's largest water fight" behind Rootes, complete with a set time, date and location and over a thousand people confirmed as attending.

16 people turned up.
