Student stories

Hmm gotta be honest only a few things spring to mind when i was a student but it was College student not Uni.

All mine involve the exact same mate!

A mate of mine got a hosing down from a lecturer about not getting on with work and instead being on airsoft all the time.
In this one lesson he typed solidly for 2hrs+. So me and me best mate who sat the other side came up with a plan. My mate distracted him i very quickly leaned over: CTRL+A, DEL, CTRL+S and finally ALT+F4... absolutely priceless :)

Another instance was him leaving the room and my best mate loading loads and loads of porn, bestiality etc etc and then shouting the lecturer as he walked back in.

By far the best was me and a group of friends went out in his clapped out Astra, we went armed with doggy poo bags and were going to smear all (the mate mentioned above) his new (blue green (thats another story)) Golf with dog muck. I threw up in the car from laughing so hard due to my mate who was driving mounting the curb flicking on full beams, side lights, hazard lights etc looking for that one precious mountain of a dogs efforts, but alas it wasn't to be and when he finally took to a small field in his efforts i was laughing so hard i barfed all in his car...

I once went to college drunk, having not eaten and drinking 4.5 pints of stella and a few shots to boot in the free session one tuesday. I came in later luckily Debs (the lecturer) i'm sure she knew but took great pity on me and let me stay the session...

There are loads more one bus rides home etc but they are the most memorable :)

I'd hate to know what you did to people you didn't like...
 
Well apparently, legends wise, Campus 14 (going round all 14 hall bars and sinking a pint/or two measures) was banned after someone did it, got so drunk they tried to swim the lake and drowned. Not sure if that really happened or not.
 
I doubt many of us were alive when this stunt was pulled, but I find it particularly impressive:

Three drunken rowers who spotted the car swinging about 40ft up were fobbed off with the explanation that it was a tethered balloon.

But it was the efforts of two student girls who showed the greatest ingenuity in trying to saved the pranksters from discovery. They had been deployed to hitch up their skirts a few inches to distract passers by.

Was that Nottingham?

If so, odd how you mention that and you're in Belfast!

(I'm in Belfast too, and went to Nottingham!)

Hahaha... it was indeed (and I did - grad of 2009). I was surprised by the number of Northern Irish people who went there.
 
Loughborough had a couple about Tower halls (it's basically a big tower block).

The first was that the mechanics club had once taken someone's car apart and bit by bit reassembled it on the roof.

The other was that there was a guy who lived near the top floor who went away for the weekend. While he was gone they moved all his furniture into an empty room on the ground floor and on his return stopped him from going in and just said 'we're all off out on the lash, come on!'. They proceed to get him completely hammered, walk him up and down the stairs a few times when they all get back, and put him to sleep in 'his room'. Early the next morning someone kicks the door in, yells 'I can't take it any more!' (waking him up in the process) and jumps out the freakin' window.

Awesome, but almost certainly wildly untrue.
 
2 from my uni days:

The next flat to mine contained (and yes I mean to use the word contained, he is mad) a lad who turfed another students room. He did the carpet and bed. He 'borrowed' the turf from a graden he walked past on his journey from lectures.

And then there is the story (from after I left) about a rich toff in the posh halls who decided to do an Italian job and drive his new mini down a flight of stone steps. Let's just say it ended badly.

I heard about the mini one in Bristol,

Another one Ive heard a lot is apparently some students stole a penguin from Bristol Zoo and took it to a bar. --- Find this very hard to believe.
 
I find it astonishing some people have gotten to the age of 18 without learning how to cook.

One of my mates was telling me about how they completely tinfoiled someones room when they went home for a couple of days.
EVERYTHING.
Individual grapes, unrolled the bog roll, foiled and rolled back up, bedsheets, matress. Everything in his room was foiled, some good pictures, i'll see if I can find them on facebook.

We always wanted to do this, but it always seemed so expensive to do! We made do by just stacking all of this bloke's stuff on his (upside-down) bed. It was pretty impressive though, as it only took us about 10 minutes combined, happened whilst he was taking a shower! (moral of the story, always lock the door even when just popping out!)
 
i think possibly the best story i have from uni happened when we were on a field trip in the south east of Spain. long days in the field looking at rocks and **** was generally followed up with heavy drinking at the field centre bar. on one of the last nights everyone got a little worse for wear even the lecturers.
a few nights earlier in the lads room it had got a little dangerous to go to sleep as the t-bagging started (obv not in a gay way but more of a punishment) some of this was filmed so it was quite common knowledge to all on the trip
so this particular night we decided to rugby tackle a lecturer and mass tea-bag him! luckily he took it in good stride and took it as banter.

the 1st lecture back he put a picture of a pgtips tea bag as the 1st slide and said he'd never mention it again!

ljmu geography in 2008 =D

Yup, I heard the Towers bedroom swapping storing from my time at Loughborough.

One guy I knew whilst I was there was a pretty heavy drinker. Walking home one night after a heavy session, he fell over onto his backside. Unfortunately, he had a bottle of whisky in his back pocket...

I did that one night. We found a massive roll of tin foil in his kitchen, industrial stuff or something but it was a huuuuuge roll and we wrapped everything in his room while he was out. And we hid it all over the place as well, like behind his posters and in books, so the prank would last until the day he left and beyond :D
 
There was a rumour going around Manchester Uni when I was there about a girl who got named 'Bottle Girl'. Basically she got friendly with a bottle in front of a crowd in halls and it got recorded, video got sent around and she left Uni after walking into a bar where everyone chanted 'Bottle Girl'.

Anyway, a year or two later, I came across said video so it turns out it was true.
