Girlies, here’s every Russell Group uni as a Sylvanian Family based solely on a gut feeling

Ah yes, the rundown we’ve all been waiting for. Incase you missed it, Sylvanian Families are still a thing, and not just a figurement of your childhood imagination. We all had a favourite and we were all jealous of people who boasted about the The Brown Mole Family.

So, here’s a really productive a way to waste your student loan and to recent graduates – why not a little keepsake for your last three years? Here’s a rundown of all the Sylvanian Families as Russell Group unis.

University of Birmingham – Vintage Bull Rush Family

@happy.sylvanian

A dream come true 🐸💕✨ #irisbullrush #sylvanian #sylvanianfamilies #calicocritters #fyp #vintage #frog #rana #ranasylvanian #frogsylvanian #viral #fypp #paratii

♬ sonido original – musicbox8:

Birmingham is known full it’s Bull Ring centre so this cute family seemed like the perfect fit. The Bull Rush Frogs will do.

University of Bristol – Hot Air Balloon Set

@xantheism

this country mouse is the new tennant of the hot air balloon house 🎀 #sylvanianfamilies #fyp #calicocritters

♬ Eloise – Emily Christine Peterson

This was the only option for a city that holds an annual hot air balloon festival. It’s pretty niche, but perfect for the rah girlies who think they’re different.

University of Cambridge – Canoe Set

@sylvanian.lover

🥰🥰 #ternurines #sylvanianfamilies #calicocritter #canoe

♬ original sound – XxPreppyxX

Okay it might not be a punting boat, but it’s close enough. There’s a high chance that when Cambridge students aren’t glued to their desks, they will either be on a punting boat, rowing one or getting photographed by a tourist on one.

Cardiff University – Chocolate Rabbit Family

@ai.collect_

Welcome to the family! 🐰 I added the Chocolate Rabbit family to my Sylvanian families collection. Let‘s unbox them together! #sylvanianfamilies #toys #collection #unboxingvideo #kawaii #dolls

♬ Little Things – Adrián Berenguer

Cardiff is pretty laid back but it still gets things done. Much like the Chocolate Rabbits, it’s the main character of the Sylvanian world and that’s exactly what Cardiff thinks it is. It’s classic, sociable, and always got something going on.

Durham University – Wedding Set

@sweetsylvanians

Replying to @Islay_forever22 here are all my Babblebrook rabbits! #sylvanianfamilies

♬ original sound – Sweet Sylvanians

Never beating the allegations that 70 per cent of Durham students marry each other x

University of Edinburgh – Skytop Fairy Castle Set

Because of Edinburgh Castle … get it?

University of Exeter – Day at the Seaside Set

@milimilkshake

Beach fun 🔫☀️sylvanianfamilies calicocritters ternurines fyp

♬ Surfin’ U.S.A. – The Beach Boys

Known for being one of the few universities where you can skip a lecture and go to the beach, instead of just sitting in a beer garden or park! But don’t be fooled, the minute flask is full of vodka, not tea…

University of Glasgow – Rainy Day Set

@hershbun

unboxing one of my dream sets <33 the rainy day set! ☔️ my sister got this for meee 🥹💗 #sylvanianfamilies #calicocritters #fyp

♬ where is smiley? – Serani Poji

What else could we choose for the rainiest city in the UK? These miniature jackets should remind Glasgow students of their beloved Arc’teryx jackets, which they’re actually putting to good use.

Imperial College London – Country Tree School

@sylvanian_families4life

Tbh I think this version looks better!! #sylvanianfamilies #sylvanian #setup #countrytreeschool #fypシ

♬ Ghibli-style nostalgic waltz – MaSssuguMusic

Imperial students are all work and no play, and likely to be earning lots after graduation so, they’ll be able to afford the school set!

King’s College London – Calico Critters

@m.kalit

Calico Critters are just so Bougie #calicocritters #sylvanianfamilies #calicocrittertiktok #dolls #dollhouse #tinythings #little #kawaii #toy #myhobby

♬ Vintage – RiceRoll

London rents are soaring, so many KCL students are living at home. Does this Sylvanian set remind you of waking up hungover to the sound of your baby sister screaming because we sure hope it does. This one’s giving daddy’s money.

University of Leeds – Party Time Playset

@lilituxedocat

unboxing the party time playset #calicocritters #sylvanianfamilies #unboxing #collector #playset

♬ Just Wanted to Tell You – Almost Here

Okay it’s not quite a grotty basement gaff in Hyde Park, but if you look close enough you might be able to see minutes elf bars poking out of this party Sylvanian’s pockets, just like a true Leeds student.

University of Liverpool – School Music Set

@coco.critters

can anyone read the tiny sheet music? I know there are no bar lines or a time signature on it but pls lmk if it’s playable!!! . #sylvanianfamilies #calicocritters #calicocritterstiktok #calicocritterscollection #sylvanianfamiliestiktok #sylvanianfamiliescollection #ternurines #unboxingvideo #unboxing #fyp #calicocritter #asmr #sylvanianfamily

♬ Magic Glockenspiel – DOMANSED

Ahhh Liverpool – home of the Beatles, LIPA, a thriving indie music scene. This could’ve been taken at jazz night in The Grapes.

London School of Economics – all of them

@sylvanianfamiliesaya

My world Sylvanian #foryou #sylvanian #sylvanianfamilies #calicocritters #シルバニアファミリー #sylvanianfamiliestiktok #fyp #sylvanianfamiliescollector #sylvanianfamiliescollection

♬ カフェでボサノバを聴く休日 – ya-su

Post graduate LSE students are most likely to be the richest compared to the other Russell Group unis, so who’s to say they won’t be able to afford this!

University of Manchester – Canal Boat Set

@sylvanianfamilycollector

Sylvanian Families Tomy Canal Boat #sylvanian #sylvanians #sylvanianfamilies #sylvanianfamily #sylvanianfamiliescollection #sylvanianfamiliestiktok #calico #critters #calicocritters #calicocritter #calicocritterscollection #calicocritterstiktok #toys #collector #fyp #viral #cute #canalboat

♬ The Beautiful Briny (from “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”) – Guy Dearden

Errrr Manchester has lots of canals?

Newcastle University – Walnut Squirrel Family

@forestandfaerie

The Walnut Squirrel family is finally home 😭 These babies and the Norwood Mice are my favorites. Which family is your favorite? 🙂 🐿️🌿 #sylvanianfamilies #calicocritters #unboxingtoysvideos #calicocrittersunboxing #sylvanianfamily #sylvanianfamiliescollection #calicocritterscollection #walnutsquirrel #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #fyp #fypage

♬ gilmore lala –

Newcastle is fun but a bit wild after dark, just like The Walnut Squirrels who are literally 100mph. The Toon is smart but never pretentious and the squirrels emulate that perfectly.

University of Nottingham – Brambles Bear Family

@adrianakowalewicz

Hazel y Honey de la familia Bramble ❤️ los gemelos más bonitos de #sylvanianfamilies me encantan 🥺 #fypp #calicocritters #ternurines #bramblefamily #unboxingtoys #hedgehog

♬ sonido original – 🧡 Adri Hdb 🪐

Notts is understated but consistently strong in a lot of areas. It’s surrounded by greenery and nature, screaming Sherwood Forest energy, and has a huge campus. It’s wholesome and quietly popular like the Bramble Bears.

University of Oxford – Babblebrook Grey Rabbit Family

@vintagesylvanianfamilies

One of the oldest rabbits family. Esses coelhos cinzas sao de 1985 🥹 #sylvanianfamilies #sylvanian #sylvanianfamily #sylvanianfamiliescollection #sylvanians #sylvaniandrama #sylvanianfamiliestiktok #sylvaniantovs #adventure #cute #bunny #calico #calicocritters #calicocritter #calicocritterstiktok #calicocrittertiktok

♬ レイテンシーガール – フレネシ

Oxford students like to remind us that their university is the oldest uni in the UK. That’s why the original Babblebrook Grey Rabbit Family seemed fitting.

Queen Mary University of London – Fennec Fox Family

@hershbun

unboxing the fennec fox family!! this set is so cutee 🫶 #sylvanianfamilies #calicocritters #fennecfox #fyp

♬ original sound – Potato. – Potato.

Queen Mary is often overlooked in favour of its louder London rivals like UCL, KCL, or LSE. But the uni has strong East London roots and is much alike the Fenton Foxes: Clever and mysterious.

University College London – Persian Cat Family

@maisarahzaha

Sylvanian Families Persian Cat Family (Teak). I’ve been looking for this persian version for so long & finally found them! 🩷 #sylvanianfamilies #sylvanianfamiliescollection #sylvanianfamiliestiktok #unboxing #persiancatfamily #cat #babblebrookgrange #fyp #foryou

♬ Everyday/Cute Piano Solo(1512061) – Sumochi

The Persian Cats are elegant, cultured and a bit smug that they’re better than Oxbridge. They own vintage record players and host dinner parties on the regular.

University of Warwick – The Macavity Mice

@anafternooninsylvania

What do you think about the new version of the Macavity Family? #sylvanianfamilies #sylvania #sylvanian #sylvanianfamilieslight #sylvanianfamiliestown #sylvanianfamilieshouse #sylvanianfamiliesvillage #diorama #sylvanianfamiliesdiorama #calicocritters #toys #toyscollection #collectiontoys #calicocritterscollection #calicocrittersfan #sylvanianfamiliesfan #sylvanianlover #sylvanianfamiliesfrance #collectible #collectibletoys #シルバニャンファミリー #人形 #可愛い #子供 #動物 #sylvanianfamiliesfr

♬ 蜜桃物语 – 仁辰 & 于行

The Macavity Mice are clever, high-strung, and deeply involved in all studenty things. Warwick has a huge community feel and so does this family. They’d no doubt be writing manifestos, organising socials and working alongside their studies at Warwick.

University of Sheffield – The Buttercup Goat Family

@sylvanian_sophie

Goat Family 💌 | #sylvanianfamilies #fyp #love #sets #foryou #caliccocritters #toys #play #cute #goatfamily

♬ Autumn Leaves – Timothy Cole

Situated in God’s Own County, also known as Yorkshire, Sheffield university students like to go outside and touch some grass. Hidden amongst the camping gear is also a pair of expensive climbing shoes, since its their only personality trait x

University of York – Halloween Surprise Partyset

@hoonybe

Feeeli jalowin #sylvanianfamilies #calicocritters #ternurines #ternurinesmexico #halloween #spookyseason #parati

♬ Soft Meadow – Green-House

Boo! Did they scare you? No… okay well according to York is the most haunted city in the world Ghost Research Foundation International, so this is the perfect pairing! Out of all the Sylvanian Families as Russell Group unis, the Halloween surprise Partyset would easily be York.
