The Student Room Group

What your uni says about you?

Birmingham - Just like the city itself - a bit naff.

Bristol - There aren't enough drugs in the world to help you get over your Oxbridge rejection.

Bath - Nothing much to say here. See York.

Cambridge - You like to think you're second to none but you'll always be second to Oxford.

Cardiff - There's lots of fun things to do in Cardiff, like sheep-spotting.

Durham - Where upper-middle-class, home-county privilege goes to play dress up as Oxbridge.

Edinburgh - Smart English folk.

Exeter - Never get in a fight with an Exeter student, that signet ring will hurt like a *****.

Glasgow - Smart Scottish folk.

Imperial - You're not a silly sausage at all, you're rather a smart one but one thing is for certain - you're definitely a sausage.

Kings - You're never going to beat UCL, you should accept this.

Royal Holloway - Posh boarding school kids

Leeds - Being edgy is like being a lady - if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

Liverpool - Poor Liverpool, always the butt of the joke.

LSE - What even is a social life anyway?

Lancaster - Theres guys are convinced they're a top 10 which is about as convincing as Surrey being one.

Loughborough - Where sports triumphs over smarts.

Manchester - A good night out and a good degree, in that order.

Newcastle - Public school kids migrate here every September to have a three-year party and study for a degree in their spare time.

Nottingham - Full of bourgeoisie, not that they know what this means.

Oxford - You're either eccentrically posh or can't maintain eye contact for more than 10 seconds. This is a fact.

Queen Mary - Apparently this is a university, not a glorified sixth form college - who knew?

QUB - We've all heard of it but do you know anyone that actually goes there? That's what I thought.

St Andrews - Posh English folk.

Sheffield - Is this ever anyone's first choice?

Southampton - They make spreadsheets of where and when every happy hour in town is, says it all really.

UCL - If you're not a conscientious international or an artsy, self-worshiping hipster then you have no business here.

Warwick - Apparently you come to love the concrete, that's a lie.

York - Those who aren't quite smart enough for Oxbridge nor ambitious enough for Durham.

I don’t go there either but I live near Brighton but yeah, it’s only really a last resort for alot of people lol. Very low entry requirements, and even if you miss them they’ll let you in anyway
This reminds me a lot of Ibz Mo’s ‘spilling the tea on all the top universities’ video
Keele - overshadowed by a motorway services
forgot about the umc american boarding school kids at st andrews and edinburgh
