The message I have for you depending on what university you’re going to

(This is purely based on stereotypes, not on anyone I actually know, and not my own genuine opinion. )

Durham: I’m so sorry you didn’t get into Oxford.

Exeter: So, did you take your gap yah in Australia or Thailand?

Kings: I’m so sorry you didn’t get into UCL.

Lancaster: Is your home life really that bad?

Bath: I know your calling to playing lacrosse is strong.

Goldsmith: We get it, you’re edgy.

Manchester: You wear expensive ‘vintage’ outfits and don’t care if it gets ruined at the many parties you will be attending because your allowance will be there for you.

Birmingham: If someone has more drink bottles on their windowsill than you do, don’t feel threatened, it’s okay.

Leeds: [As above]

Bristol: : You couldn’t bear leaving private school, could you?

Edinburgh: You read English classics on the train to impress… absolutely no one.

St Andrews: You say you prefer wine over beer and everyone around you smiles and rolls their eyes.

Imperial: I’m so sorry you didn’t get into Cambridge.

Aberdeen: Edgar Allen Poe’s poetry has more joy and liveliness than this place. Good luck mate.

LSE: You say you’re going there only to focus on your studies and… that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Have fun?

Liverpool: You do medicine and you do consider yourself superior because of it.

Oxford: Have fun studying History of Art or something.

Cambridge: You will spend freshers’ week inside with your flatmates discussing architecture and correcting each other’s grammar – that is, if you gather the courage to start a conversation.
