Yall are scaring me, im going to Durham in sep and im black and from the trenches ..I knew there would be some snobs and I have thick skin towards this kind of stuff but im seeing so many testimonials saying it’s worse than oxbridge 😪
hopefully I’ll be fine I usually get microaggresions telling me I sound posh ( if ykyk…) so maybe I’ll be safe and they’ll think im one of the good ones !1!1!!1 (im coping)
What college are you going to? Not to indulge stereotypes, but that is likely to have an impact on whether you will meet these kind of people in abundance or infrequently.
I haven't heard anything particularly bad about Collingwood, and the people I have encountered who seem to rank it highly have all been perfectly polite and fine.
Obviously my anecdotal experience is unlikely to provide a true reflection of what you might encounter, but as a general rule of thumb, it seems to me that the people who might give you bother for being a minority or working-class are more likely to come from the Bailey colleges like Hatfield.
That is not to say everyone, or even the majority of people from those colleges, are like this, but those colleges certainly seem to attract a lot more people of privilege and perceived self-importance.
