I go to an IT and when I ever visit my friend's in Uni its like im being looked down on.
EDU doesnt define someone......does it?

Wear some larger heels. Never noticed the issue myself, never came up in my experience.

Never hear the "whats the differnce between an IT student and a UNI student...." jokes?

Never seen this happen. I started Film and TV Production in GMIT a few weeks back and all my friends in NUIG still treat me the same as before. I think it may be all in your mind my friend.

Oh yes!

I'm from Cork so these are some of the ones I've heard:

What does a CIT student call a UCC student?
Boss.

How do you get a CIT student to come to your house?
Order a pizza.

What do you call a CIT student wearing a suit?
The Defendant.
And what do you call a UCC student in a suit?
The Prosecutor.

And yes, I am a UCC student! :P

But it's all done in good spirit: CIT students take the piss out of us aswell and I would hope it's the same other places with both Uni's and IT's.
I don't know anyone who actually has that attitude and believes that they're superior.

Agonist · 28-09-2008 02:32AM

I think it's the difference between training and education. Brings me back to the 80s and the jokes about the university for dyslexics and the ULA.

DCU and University of Limerick Actually

Why did the LIT student cross the road?... To find out what a joke was.

28-09-2008 02:41AM

On a more serious note, I come from a town that doesn't have third level colleges, I honestly never heard of this kind of snobbery until I came to a town with both and met a guy who really wanted to go to "university" (didn't matter what course might be better in what institution) Where I come from IT's and Uni's were all just referred to as "colleges". Couldn't understand the snobbery myself...

I'm getting offline now so I hope to find plenty of more posts about my bad use of the english language in the morning;)

ninty9er · 28-09-2008 02:56AM

I do take the piss out of some of my friends in LIT, but it depends on the course.

Like; what the **** is someone who graduates from property management over the next few years going to do??

I don't think I'm better, but my degree will be worth more when I graduate, regardless of classification.

We hit 4 figures when you take the 4 years into account....though I was told by my boss on co-op that he doesn't see the value or point of the your ARTS degree when Business is available; as it's neither Law nor Accounting.
