Stop telling me I’m posh because I live in Northfield

Northfield is infamous on the Sussex campus for being the ‘posh’ halls and as it’s filled with students living away from their Home Counties mansions for the first time you can understand why. It’s true that we don’t have to fight off eleven other people for our morning shower and we can socialise around a kitchen table in a way that Park Village residents can only dream of, but seriously guys, it’s not that posh.

The kitchens are always a mess

Not an ideal hangover cure

The maid service is terrible. She comes once a week and doesn’t even do the washing up.

We don’t all shop at Waitrose

Northfield actually runs rife with Tesco and Asda delivery vans. I’ve actually only seen one Waitrose delivery in nearly three weeks, and everyone knows that shopping at Waitrose is the key to being posh.

When we do shop at Waitrose, we only buy the essential range

We are students on budgets after all.

Single beds

Who else can’t wait to do the double bed starfish at Christmas?

Some people don’t own MacBooks 

Other laptop brands do exist!

There aren’t Dyson hoovers

There’s a Henry. It’s like 1985 all over again.

No elevators

There’s always a lift in posh houses. Large amounts of alcohol combined with large amount of stairs is a serious issue.

There are no chauffeurs

We’re expected to actually walk ourselves down to our lectures. That’s a ten minute walk. At least. You would have expected that we would be provided with drivers to take us there.
