These 24 truths about British ‘uni culture’ are the funniest thing you’ll read all week
If you know, you know
They said uni was going to be the best time of your life. They said you were going to mature at uni. They said you were actually going to make friends there.
They (your parents), said a lot of things about university before you embarked on your treacherous journey into adulthood. But sorry Susan, in 2018, uni is not the same as it was 30 years ago.
The modern British uni culture is different now, it has evolved. Now that we have the internet and mobile phones, it's a different ballpark.
And these 24 tweets perfectly sum up why:
