How people view you (based on your college)
Freshers' Week is over, so while you may no longer be wailing “(insert college here) ‘til I die” every time you clamber aboard the 2A, your college is still massively important. Why? Because no matter what college you’re in, people will view you differently because of it…
Lonsdale

It’s been 52 hours since you last slept. There’s a party going on somewhere and you need to be a part of it. You’re approximately 87% more likely to use #YOLO than anyone else.
Fylde

You’re scarily sporty. When everyone else is stumbling out of bed hungover, you’re doing press-ups and drinking protein shakes. The last time you came in second place, you locked yourself in your room for a week because it was just too shameful.

Your bar is really sophisticated. I feel like I should take my shoes off before I go inside. Sometimes we wonder whether people from Grizedale are as fancy as their bar, but then we see you on a Hustle Thursday and we know that you’re just as shambolic as the rest of us.

You’re one of two things: either you REALLY love being academic, or you’re just trying to put off being a “proper adult” (whatever one of those is) for as long as possible. Either way, we hope you’re okay under that gigantic pile of Masters work.

You have more friends who are ducks than friends who are people. We want to know why there’s always so many ducks in your houses. Are you raising an army? Should we be scared?

You hate Lonsdale more than Lonsdale love partying. Some of you have survived Ash House. You are NOT someone to be messed with.
Pendle

You’re mysterious. Too mysterious. Who knows what dark secrets lurk behind the permanently closed doors of your bar…
Furness

“Oh, you’re in Furness? You must know Hannah and Tom and Sam and Dave and Thackery.” If you’re in the smallest college, you MUST know everyone else in that college, even though there’s still over a thousand of you altogether. You also know everyone’s exact weight (in metric and imperial), the location of everyone’s last tactical chunder and everyone’s questionable crush. That’s why your hair is so big – it’s full of secrets.
Cartmel

You’re from Cartmel? Well, it’s been two years and you’re the first one I’ve met. What’s it like all the way over there? Has anyone ever seen Cartmel? Has Cartmel just been a big urban myth this whole time?!
Anyone in the same college as you

Rest assured, anyone in your own college will, upon meeting you, know that you are a majestic human being who is going to go far in life.
Which stereotype about your college are you sick of hearing? Are there any that actually have some truth in them? Tell us by commenting below.
