I had an idealised image of university which, mysteriously, seemed to be set in the 1980s: serious boys and girls with glasses, sat around discussing Morrissey's lyrics and Betty Blue, and Proust. A bunch of pseudo intellectual tossers, basically, but pseudo intellectuals are better than bellowing imbeciles.

However, Leeds (the city) is great, and full of great people. And lots of decent bands play there.

Haha I know I wish...

I feel like there is something explictly wrong when I have to describe the genius of The Smiths to people...
