4. The Medicine faculty
So, you think our future doctors are all serious and non-scandalous?
You’re clearly mistaken.
The Medicine (Med) faculty has one of the highest rates
of intra-faculty couple-hood. This is probably because of the sheer
amount of time they spend together, peering over cadavers or mugging in
their insanely quiet library - truly an alternative sense of romance.
And yes, it helps that many of their events like their annual Dinner and Dance are
also sponsored by the SDU (Social Development Unit).
It smacks a little bit of
inbreeding and given that these people are doctors, they should know
that’s not the brightest idea in the world.
However, given their tight schedules (with a different timetable each week), it’s a great
rarity that anyone even ventures outside the faculty.
5. The Law Faculty
The Law faculty is like a phantom faculty. You don’t see them, but you
know they’re there.
It’s the faculty that’s been separated from the
main campus. Its seclusion, tucked in beside the Botanic Gardens as it
is, adds to its aura of mystery.
People ask themselves “just what are
they doing there?” Well, we’re here to lift the veil from this clouded
affair. Like Indiana Jones, we’re digging deep into this treasure
trove, to find…nothing.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the only remotely scandalous
thing is the amount of studying.
If there are indeed some trysts between
students going on, they’re doing a superb job keeping those goings-on
a secret. And, in all honesty, if such goings-on are happening between
couples, the rest frankly don’t care all that much.
Law students read
plenty of cases about cheating spouses, jealous lovers with shotguns
and melodramatic marital intrigues. After all that, one tends to become
a tad jaded.
Scandals are supposed to be outrageous or disgraceful actions. If sex
between consenting adults is disgraceful, then the whole world lives in
perpetual disgrace. Sex is itself a natural process, and we don’t
think it merits the label of ‘scandal’.
The real scandals out there are
other issues, like the grading of students on a bell curve which pits
us against each other in academic battle royales. Or the fact that our
students seem to have nothing more on their minds than schoolwork and
who’s-going-out-with-who.
Now that’s just wrong. HOOKED

Just like how we write our thesis - full of crap to pad it. |
