Edinburgh Napier University is a place where students discover who they are and who they want to be. It is a place where horizons are widened and knowledge is shared. It is a place where the canteen cooks think it\u2019s ok to make yesterday\u2019s vegetable curry into a soup. A place where cigarette buds start fires in the bins, but no one attempts to put them out. Where football strips are a fashion staple, and where full classes of students turn up to lectures, but their lecturers do not.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s 10 gifs that accurately describe being a student on the Merchiston campus of Edinburgh Napier University (that\u2019s the creative one). Fasten your seatbelts folks, we\u2019re in for a bumpy ride.<\/p>\n
Tesco meal deals are not only God\u2019s gift to the average skint student, they are part of the Merchiston campus culture. Every day is started right, with a Tesco Meal Deal.<\/p>\n
These \u00a33 deals both make and break friendships \u2013 what sort of person buys the \u2018Just Ham\u2019 or \u2018Just Cheese\u2019 sandwiches? Who even picks up the pickled online Monster Munch? And don\u2019t get started on the people who choose \u2018Baby Carrots\u2019, over a Mars Bar. Amateurs.<\/p>\n
Have you seen the cute boy sat in cluster 7B, row 3, at the computer 2 seats from the left? Well, he doesn\u2019t know me, but we\u2019re getting married once I\u2019ve finished my dissertation.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my god, hey! It\u2019s been so long!\u201d You see a meal deal in their hands. It\u2019s an \u2018Egg Mayo and Cress\u2019 sandwich, with a packet of \u2018thinly sliced apples\u2019. Now you remember why you\u2019re not pals anymore\u2026<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve made 350 words. Montpellier\u2019s Bar is just down the street. They do nice cocktails\u2026 shall we?<\/p>\n
But, if you went to the downstairs canteen, they had a Do-It-Yourself coffee machine. Extra shot? No problem! Pay the price for a single? Yes, I did! Feeling guilty about it? Not one bit. Starbucks can keep their caramel, soy, spiced pumpkin lattes, because Napier students know how to work the system to get the ultimate caffeine buzz.<\/p>\n
Just because we don\u2019t have more than 15 hours of lecture time a week doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re not full time students. A lot of us don\u2019t have exams, but that doesn\u2019t make the courses less difficult. Besides, Edinburgh University offers a PhD about the history of ghosts and ghouls – apparently that\u2019s known as \u2018Parapsychology\u2019. Now if that\u2019s not a joke\u2026<\/p>\n
These happen all. The. Time. Burning toast, ciggie butts in the bins, burning toast, ciggie butts in the bins. Always the same.<\/p>\n
No, not books or magazines to enrich your knowledge. Defaced signs on the walls provide hours of entertainment \u2013 \u201cPlease hold down the flush until all debris<\/span> \u2018jobbies\u2019 is removed. Thank you.\u201d So mature.<\/p>\n Even despite its quirks, Edinburgh Napier University is a reputable, and successful university. Oh, and don\u2019t let the Edinburgh Uni students tell you it\u2019s not a \u201creal university\u201d. Just ask them who gets the Usher Hall for graduation day\u2026Who\u2019s fancy now?<\/p>\n Edinburgh Napier University is a place where students discover who they are and who they want to be.
