I was surprised when I came to uni that there are very very few people that dress strangely. I have seen no notable person in attention seeking clothing.

I find it weird because I come from Cornwall, and there are a LOT of people in Cornwall that are pierced, dreadlocked, heavy makeup, gypsy style dress etc. It's not like everyone is a freak, but there's a definite "alternative" undercurrent. I guess it's because of the "surf" lifestyle, and all the locals are poor.

It might also be because I go to a top 10 uni. I expected more fedoras.

Sorry to disappoint OP, I'm looking out of the window now (living on campus) and seeing a woman in officewear, she must work here. A student in jeans and a winter coat - actually make that three students. A guy in a university sports team hoodie and jogging pants. Normalfag galore.

Bloke across from me in halls overflowed his bath.
How did he even get into Uni?

The worst thing for me is the fire alarms from people unable to cook properly.

>>1384315
We usually get them from the student nights (Weds and Saturdays), I live right above the SU so I can't sleep til like 2 anyway, then at about 3:30 people think it's funny/can't cook when drunk so the alarms go off, and we have to evacuate and stand by the lake in our dressing gowns for 15 minutes.

>>1384293
What grades did your uni ask for when applying and what are the lowest grades you've seen someone get in with?

I am thankful for not sleeping nude.

what's an exclusion notice?

>>1384352
The university basically blacklists the student, so that any other university will see how terrible their academic record is straight away, realise that they are clearly unable to pass subjects, and subsequently won't enrol them.

>>1384358
matures suck. The retired ones in particular.

>>1384293

Plenty of fedoras here in London.

>>1384342
Nobody in my flat has less than A*AA at A level. I got A*A*AA, I think my offer was AAA. This year my course is offering people A*AA entry. My flat were talking about this, we reckon (because the uni doesn't do many courses) the lowest entry would be about ABB maybe. We have loads of international students though, so I don't know how those qualifications work.

>>1384380
I rejected Imperial because I realised I hate London, guess I missed out on the fedoras then.

>>1384394
Nah, UCL is much worse.

>>1384406
Fair enough, are you one of them?

I go to an art school. Everyone in design, is pretty well normal, common sense type folks, a lot of hipsters, but at least they're not insufferable. Then you go visit some of the other major's buildings, and it's just a parade of oddities. In the summer, a fair group of kids just never wear shoes. Ever. Sometimes they'll wear them to school, and take them off when they hit the front doors. I don't even look up when someone walks by with rainbow hair and a face full of metal. We have every kind of hipster you could think of congregated outside, smoking their hand-rolled cigarettes and pipes, and in the illustration building, weeaboos galore, roaming the halls, spouting memes. The weeaboos are the worst.

I suppose I have some small particular snippets I could share, but it's more the collective atmosphere as a whole.

>be in art history
>sitting next to this guy, dreads down to his middle back
>god the smell, he must bathe in nothing but patchouli oil. Overwhelming.
>he leans down, pulls shoes off.
>mildly annoyed, I hate when they do this for no reason
>sets feet on empty desk.
>gross. Why, patchouli man? I don't understand.
>suddenly, pulls socks off as well
>I hate you.
>look around
>half the class not wearing shoes, a lot without socks as well.
>no one puts their shoes on when they leave

>>1384387
I'm probably off to some average at best tier uni, was just wondering in general as a lot of my E-D friends have applied to and been given conditionals by BBB/ABB uni's whilst I got BBC and didn't apply to anything more than BBB so feeling a bit cheated.

>Sleep over at gf's room
>get up at 9:30 to go to the dinning hall for breakfast
>Finish breakfast and go outside
>walking down the hill is someone with a glazed look about them
>They are flapping their arms around
>9:30 AM

Couldn't tell if he was just crazy or wanted to get smashed at 9 in the morning.

>>1384425
Don't worry about it too much, the thing with a lot of top tier unis is that it doesn't necessarily mean the teaching is any good. It may just mean that smart people went there and worked their ass off, whereas you may end up with a deeper understanding of your subject as a better taught uni.

Saying that, it varies. I'm happy with my uni. I was shitting myself when it came to A-level exam time though, so you might appreciate that when you do your finals. What is your choice/for what subject?

>>1384458
I'm leaning towards Huddersfield for Accountancy but Brighton is a contender as well as it's closer, though they haven't replied yet. Feel super retarded talking to an A*A*AA student.

>>1384358
what the hell is a "mature" student? Is that an actual category given to students by a uni?

I live in the North East too, so my mouth drops when I see people in skirts in the winter.

UCL is popular for weirdos it seems.

>>1384470
Yes. Its basically anyone starting university over the age of 25. They're usually 40 - 50 year olds though, who got fired from their job and now can't find a place to work without a degree.

>>1384511

not sure if thats aimed at us, but there are a fair few weirdos here. not as many hippies/college liberals as many other places though.

>>1384464
Haha, you're (I assume) not retarded so don't worry about it. I'm not that clever, I just know how to pass exams. Although I don't think that my January ones at uni went well...
Anyway I have a good friend at Brighton, he seems to be enjoying himself. Don't know anything about Huddersfield though.
