Hysteria

Should the two Sheffield universities merge? No not really. Am a Hallam student and i'm not one for all this 'us and them' crap but i have to say that the 'Uni of' students instigate this. Sheffield Uni is living in the past and disillusioning itself by doing so. The new 'in take' that arrive at Sheffield Uni every year are big suckers for this. They've been in Uni 5 minutes and associate themselves with the university's past successes, and i think, "hold on a minute, you haven't been a part of this at all". Thats what annoys me, their like bloody glory supporters in football. I know a few people at Sheff University, for example a friend from my old school studying medicine another studies genetics and my ex studies linguistics, and have to say there not the most interlectual bunch. There so gulliable and not really wise about much, they seem sheltered. "Sheffield Uni has better students and world-class research. Hallam is an old polytechnic and does get less-able students. My gut feeling is that merging would just bring Sheffield Uni down" erm no, not really. Hallam students are as intelligent as Uni of and are at an advantage as we're more wise to the world.
