Here’s which Wicked character you are, based on your Exeter Uni halls

Wicked has been the most anticipated film of the year. After being released two weeks ago, the film has become an internet sensation – no one can avoid Wicked at the moment. All of the interviews, videos, pink and green has made us head down to our closest Vue and Odeon to truly hold space with the lyrics of Defying Gravity. If you haven’t seen Wicket yet, then what are you doing?

As Exeter Uni “bleeds green” on a daily basis, we can see ourselves in Wicked. I would love to see Elphaba at a TP Wednesday with a green Venom in hand. We know that Glinda would go crazy for EGB and Fiyero would be the type to suggest Fever after a few pints at Chev. Us Exeter students all wish we had Elphaba’s power to work some magic when it comes to securing tickets on FIXR. So, in honour of Wicked, here’s which character you would be based on your uni halls.

G(a)linda – Holland Hall

Holland Hall residents know how to dress to impress with their Exeter outfit. Just like Galinda, Hollanders are typically a bit out of touch and feel a sense of superiority, maybe because they literally look down from their accommodation’s stunning balcony. A Hollander knows what it takes to be “popular”. They’ve mastered the Exeter look, mindset and have perfected their “rahhh”. Like Glinda correcting her name to be “Gahlinda”, a Hollander would correct you in saying it’s “Exetah” not Exeter.

Boq – Mardon Hall

If Galinda is Holland, Boq has to be Mardon. All Boq wants is Glinda, similar to Mardon wanting to be Holland. Mardon Hall will do anything Holland Hall tells them to do. They will suck up to Holland Hallers in the hopes for one night in their accommodation. Like the jumpscare we all got from Boq in Wicked, Mardoners must’ve felt the same way when they saw their accommodation allocation for the first time.

Fiyero – Penny C

It must be nice to stay at Penny C. Near the main campus, nice rooms… you guys are dancing through life. Something about these accoms seems whimsical, and mischievous. Like Holland, Penny C residents fit well into the Exeter status quo despite not always being totally with the program. These students love to have a good time and would be willing to get into a little trouble to do so.

Elphaba – Birks Grange

No, the people of BGV do not have green skin. They have red faces because of Cardiac. Freaking. Hill. Birks Grangers actually envy Elphaba, because they too deserve a chance to fly. They truly hold space for Defying Gravity and resonate with it. The other day, I did hear someone playing Defying Gravity through her AirPods as they trekked up the monstrous hill. It was really special.

Nessa Rose – Duryard

Duryard is the younger, lesser-known sibling of Birks Grange. Like Nessa Rose, they face challenges of their own and are largely undermined — anyone who has to trek Cardiac Hill and beyond must take some grit. Maybe they underestimate themselves sometimes but don’t worry, if you put your mind to it, you can make it to more than two lectures before the term ends.

The Wizard – East Park

Everyone wants something from the Wizard, the all-powerful leader of Oz. As we find out, he doesn’t have anything to offer, and expectations do not match reality. In the Exeter world, the most comparable experience would be applying to East Park and being certain you’ll get in, to end up in Birks or Moberly. The Wizard gets to live in a stunning futuristic city while the rest of us are off in Munchkinland. This may leave people to resent the Wizard/East Parkers a bit… who wants to walk up all of those stairs anyway, right?

Madame Morrible – Old Laf

Like Madame Morrible with her tips and tricks, Old Laf is a place full of mischief and disguise. Many students in Old Laf did not choose Old Laf as their first option but, they sure do know how to have some fun. Madame Morrible is a very sneaky character – she knows what she’s doing and always has a scheming plan. Like Old Laffers, they are sneaky and are always up to no good. Usually, they are harmlessly pranking New Laffers, taking the mick with circuit laundry or getting a bit too silly at their pres. That £5 wine they got from MarketPlace isn’t giving them special powers.
