The curly-haired boy looks like Pippin from LOTR, in a sweet way :P

People need to get over it regarding state vs private education. I went to a private prep and later moved to a state school and had perfectly lovely friends at both. Reverse snobbery is just as bad as standard snobbery. Nice people don't give a damn about money, however rich or poor they might be.

the June ball, is it just for people that are graduating that year for the whole college

I have to admit that the first guy talking sounds like a complete toff.

I mean i like the idea of a good education but he sounds as though he has just bought his education and qualifications,

I thought the dress code was supposed to be White Tie. I have seen a lot of Black Tie and a few (gasp) neck-ties and lounge suits but there don't appear to be any tailcoats in sight.

Who the fuck are Durham Uni? Imperial College represent

[SamCocknose]

Not true, I got in, I'm not rich.

[SamCocknose]

sounds like snobbery and ill-informity to me...

[AlexTerryUK]

No you're wrong. Purely merit I'm afraid. Now enjoy painting your face green.

Quite a response. I think it's probably more to do with financial standing and social class than attitude, to be honest. The most important thing I learned at uni was that standardised education breeds automatons, shortly before I sacked it off and started getting paid loads as a freelance journalist - a job that values talent over pomposity.

My mother went to Durham Uni actually, she said it was alright but badly organised. ps. I'm not prejudiced, just experienced and opinionated.
