【11 Things Which Make You A Goldsmiths Student】

2015年02月20日 伦敦大学金匠学院



前几天The Huffington Post UK刊登了伦敦大学金史密斯学院校友Nick Winchester的文章:11 Things Which Make You A Goldsmiths Student


Nick还建议RHB应该被称呼为Richard'Hogwarts' Building'! 小编扒出这篇文章,大家看看是不是身同感受,再一起看看还有没有什么能添加到list上~


Goldsmiths is a great university. Not only is it part of the University of London (of UCL, King's and Queen Mary fame), it boasts an alumni of creatives second to none.


As a university this creativity doesn't end with its past students. Students on the majority of courses, across its assorted spectrum, find that their education is charged with something slightly different to their peers at other institutions. This being said, you shouldn't expect any wonders from the admin side of things.


The campus sits nicely between both New Cross Gate and New Cross overground stations, allowing easy access to central London, as well as the notorious Shoreditch/Hoxton/Dalston, for those that way inclined.


Being a student in South East London beats living anywhere else. It's relatively cheap, fairly unpretentious, and is arguably the last remaining community in a city that has witnessed gross gentrification. I'd advise you come soon though; there is no way of guaranteeing this will last for much longer.


1. You'll be tired of telling people that, no, you don't make jewellery.(哈哈这个真的有!!!那个金史密斯公司,真是醉了)


'Goldsmiths' might be the name of a popular high-street jewellers, but it's also the name of a university!


2. No matter how left-wing you consider yourself to be, there will always, always be some more radical than you. (躺枪。。)


Although these blokes had great beards, they didn't have sleeve tattoos. I know, how is that possible


3. You'll think its only a matter of time before you'll be accepting some sort of award. Goldsmiths必须人才辈出好嘛~)


The alumni includes 7 Turner Prize winners and recipients of Oscars, Mercury Music prizes, Ivor Novellos and BAFTAS. "I'd like to thank my parents, my friends..."


4. If you've been on a student protest, you loved it. (前段时间闹得沸沸扬扬的free education protest, 跟看大片似的哈哈


Nothing is more fun than flares, grumpy anarchists and the freedom to hurl abuse at the police.


5. You'll have accumulated approximately 17 hours of queuing time outside the Bussey Building. (这个大家有共鸣嘛~)


You won't look this happy. Nor dress like this. Nor, in fact, be as unrealistically good looking.


6. You'll wish you were there in 2009 when Blur played at the SU. (打酱油的飘过~~)


Although, if you don't like Blur, you'll probably feel in different about missing a gig that happened six years ago.


7. If you don't study art you'll be tired of explaining to everyone that Goldsmiths does offer other subjects. (想起来邻居印度小哥学习computer engineering 然后整天跟我们解释多么多么的高大上哈哈~)


Although, there is no denying they're obsessed with art. Every degree has an art infused module. 'The politics of art'. 'The anthropology of art'. You get my drift...


8. If you do study art, you'll be tired of trying to live up to the hype of the university's Fine Art alumni. (学习art 的童鞋们,有嘛~)


Yes, we know. Damien Hirst. Anthony Gormley. Steve McQueen.Heard it all before.


9. You'll love the gender neutral toilets in the Students Union. (这个有。。。)


And, you'll know that they're the best social space in the newly refurbished Students Union.


10. You'll get so lost in the Richard Hoggart building and think it should be renamed the Richard 'Hogwarts' building. (是真心绕还是老外方向感太差@,@ lol)


How can so many staircases not lead to where you think must be their logical destination?


11. You'll be quick to dispute the 'danger' of living in Lewisham. (只要小伙伴们都开开心心,平平安安的,就是最好的~


"The UK's most violent borough. I don't think so. My mates and I, we're pretty much all still alive."


大家看完觉得有同感嘛~
