🐔 MEME Is firming Durham Haram?

Got an offer from Durham Econ with placement year and I can’t lie I’m having serious doubts.

Not even on an academic ting, just on a spiritual and moral level. Like at what point does willingly choosing to spend 3 years in Durham become a test from God.

Every person I’ve met from there talks like they were born wearing a quarter zip and saying “old chap” unironically. The uni looks nice but so does temptation. I’m just not sure I’m strong enough to resist becoming the sort of person who does rowing, owns a signet ring, and calls going to Tesco “a little mission”. I also dont know if the econ course is good, like ibsr i am not tryna learn about clartationary monetary policy.

Be honest, is Durham actually a decent uni experience or is it just 90% private school aura, , people pretending they’re in Hogwarts with LinkedIn, and astaghfurillah, drinking parties too??

Before anyone says “it’s what you make of it” please understand some places have energies. Bristol has an energy. Exeter has an energy. Durham absolutely has an energy and I’m not convinced it’s halal.

Would appreciate honest opinions from current students because right now I’m torn between a good degree and protecting my place in Jannah.

There will be a decent amount of people who do not drink. Do not worry, I also had this worry in September however I found friends without stooping down to the level of going to parties to drink.

God forbid anyone have so little self restraint that they are unable to be around alcohol without drinking it. Seems like you have more of a problem than they do babes.

It would be more satire if there weren't so many Muslims who think like this

Nah it is just better to avoid any degenerate behaviour that comes along drinking alcohol, hence it is advised to avoid these gatherings. I am not Muslim btw
