15 Things That Make You A Sheffield Student
You "love" Henderson's Relish(01 of15)
Did you used to splash Worcestershire sauce on absolutely everything before you got here? That's irrelevant because now you use Henderson's. It doesn't matter whether or not you'd heard of it before university, it's now what defines you as a human being and a member of the community. Sheffield locals and students are fiercely proud of their condiments, and even though the label looks kind of like the one for Lea & Perrin's and they have a similar taste they are completely different. Ask anyone, they'll tell you.
You're making an effort to show how northern you can be(02 of15)
"Is tha'reyt duck??" Stop it. You're upsetting the natives.
You've ridden the paternoster(03 of15)
The paternoster is right next to the stairs and lifts, both of which are much easier to use. Rumor has it that the paternoster is the only direct line to the jaws of Hell.
You're slightly disappointed by your students' union(04 of15)
Sheffield University has won the award for best Students' Union building countless times but honestly? It's not exactly the Taj Mahal. The union bar's prices are confusing and outrageous, and we still can't figure out what Hallam's building is meant to be.
Corp-shoes are an institution(05 of15)
This pair got off lightly. If you want to avoid trench-foot suring your time at Sheffield, a sturdy pair of waterproof boots or trainers are strongly advised.
Gravy goes on everything(06 of15)
Sunday roasts, pies, chips, chicken nuggets, salads, protein shakes, pint glasses. Gravy goes on and in everything when you're in God's Country.
This building is where you spend most of your life(07 of15)
The mid-section of a cruise-liner run ashore, Information Commons is open 24/7 everyday except Christmas. Its not uncommon to see students spending New Years Eve in here with a can of red bull and a broken spirit.
Sean Bean is your favourite actor(08 of15)
Do you know what he's in? Do you really? Do your research. One does not simply walk into Broomhill Friery without having a few good Sean Bean puns up one's sleeve.
You've got nice thighs(09 of15)
Walking up Conduit provides excellent resistance training. Bring snow-shoes.
You have gone whole weeks without leaving Endcliffe(10 of15)
Endcliffe is an important habitat environment for freshers. Students have everything they need to continue existing and tend not to stray far from the nursery slopes. Watch out for onesies and dressing-gowns in the Edge Bar on a Sunday afternoon.
You've never actually been in this building...(11 of15)
...even though it's on every prospectus and was your first impression of life at Sheffield.
You drink, or have at least tried real Ale(12 of15)
Boys with beards will look at you like you've punched a kitten if you say you don't like beer. Bottoms-up!
You like pie(13 of15)
According to the Nottingham House in Broomhill there are two types of food in the world, "One is pies. The other should be pies."
You have a healthy hatred of the other university(14 of15)
Hallamers are thick. Uni-of students are snobs. Hallam boys go after Uni-of girls. Uni-of boys prefer the company of a Hallam girl. Know where you stand on your next university bar-crawl.
Above all else, you're proud to live here. It's the best city in the world(15 of15)
Just look at that city. That's a nice city.
