I know a couple of people who did really well academically, but they seem to treat every conversation as if they’re in some university debating society

That’s exactly what freshers week was like for me. Everyone in the kitchen spoke as they would in the classroom. Was a pretty intense culture shock if I’m honest.

My observation about when you’re on a bus in a student city all you hear talking are the posh cunts is the most accurate observation of 2016

I went out with someone at uni who now has a phd in physics and has been an academic of some sort. In 2nd year (after studying thermodynamics) he didn’t realise and wouldn’t believe me that having a fan on doesn’t actually lower the temperature of the room.
