Students (Imperial College)

From Frikipedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The renowned and much-admired Imperial College has a very different distribution of students to most universities:

Jocks - Yes, in quite large numbers. Many of these went to posh schools and played rugby. Jocks like to come to the Union on a Wednesday night, drink heavily and climb on things.

Athletes (physical) - Very rare special case of the above.

Athletes (mental) - Very common. Also known as Wankers. These are people who do the 'challenging' questions on the end of problem sheets and mither the lecturer constantly with questions about them. Destined to work 85 hours a week for the Man in Wanary Quarf. They are very different from....

Geeks - who also feature in large numbers. In fact, they are so numerous as to be the norm - the very standard by which all other flavours of student are judged. This means that activities considered geeky at other universities are common at Imperial, which has a very active Croquet Society for example.

Rockers/Indie Kids - Sparse. Unless you count the Geeks who wear Megadeth T-shirts and full-length Matrix coats in July.

Fitties - aka Biology Students. These can be found in the Biology Building (the "SAF" to those in the know). Imperial's GTF (Geek-to-Fittie ratio) is widely believed to be falling, and can reach almost acceptable levels when there are enough.....

Medics - Different to everyone else. And they want you to know it. (With some honourable exceptions.)

Rebels without a clue - Frikipedia has researched this population heavily, and found it to be small but very dedicated. Surprisingly, Imperial's Rebels are among the more normal members of the student body, as they are aware of the existence of a world beyond their own iBook.
