student ghetto

n. an urban neighborhood primarily inhabited by college students, and located near major universities. A combination of students' low incomes, lifestyles, and constant demand for housing provides landlords no incentive to maintain their properties and locals no incentive to stay. Although shabby, these areas usually have fairly row crime rates when compared with actual ghettos.

Examples include: Oakland in Pittsburgh (Pitt and CMU), Hyde Park in Chicago (UChicago), and the entirety of State College, PA (Penn State)

Parent: "The area around the University looks awful!" Tour guide: "Don't worry, ma'am, it's just a student ghetto."

Student Government 

A group where your expected to actually make changes in the school and organize community enriching events even though you know you have absolutely 0 POWER and have to attend dumb meetings about things that won't come true. Ideas range in these meetings from napkin sells to 5k runs that have been in development for over a year. Your lucky to know half your members and you will continually struggle to go to meetings and beg your friends to sign you in even though they aren't going either. So I guess the only people who survive stugo are the hardcore stugoers.

Person1: Hey you going to student government
Person2: Hahahahahah. Nice one.
Person1: .....
Person2: Wait. You aren't joking!?

Student Film

9/10 times, a student film involves:
- Zombies
- The homeless
- Suicide or Death in a dramatic light
- A short story they didn't write
- Alarm clocks
- The stalest of actors
- Needless exploitation of available resources (slow motion, racking focus for no reason, fancy credit titles)
- Poser pablum
- Blunt and painful symbolism
- An epic tale constrained to 5 minutes
- Copyrighted music used without permission, probably Radiohead or Sigur Ros
- Terrible sound or terrible shots (usually sound, rarely both)

9/10 times, a student piece sucks balls.

The 10th time, the time that it doesn't suck balls, it's probably a comedy.

Did you see that student film about the kid with a literal crutch, but his crutch was also his mother? And when he told her how she's his CRUTCH he threw his crutch on the ground and walked off? Deep man... DEEP.

Student Village 

The nice and politically-correct name that Queen's University insists refers to the hundreds of student houses surrounding its campus. Those living within and around it, however, more frequently (and accurately) call it the Student Ghetto, or "The Ghetto" for short. It is home to the famous and nefarious "Aberdeen Street Party" every year at Homecoming, in which 6000+ people (mostly from out of town) cram into a 500 metre-long street.

By and large, the houses are run-down and the rent overpriced. The neighbourhood is also home to "ghetto bugs," which are really just disgusting big millipedes. Squirrels also run amok in the ghetto and do not fear humans whatsoever; sometimes entering student homes through the crappy screen windows.

Behaviour in the "Village" includes drunk 20-somethings loudly stumbling home from the bar all days of the week and frequent cries of "Ole, Ole, Ole Oleeee..." as people begin flip cup games on their front lawn. People play football on the streets. BBQs are common. The sidewalks are never paved in the winter. Drivers beware, there is a lot of jaywalking.

Some non-students do live in the so-called "Student Village," and they either adore students or hate them desperately. They live in much nicer houses than the students, because their landlords do not take unfair advantage of them.

Either way, the "Student Village" is an overly polite euphemism to prevent the University from actually having to DO anything to improve the housing conditions for the students in the area, and is used as a tool to uphold the school's Reputation, although most of the students are living in total shitholes.

Queen's University staff member: Oh hello, young student! I'm doing some PR work. Do you live in the Student Village?

Student: The what?? Sorry lady, I live in the Ghetto.

student loan 

The interest rate is 2.4%, but they make most of their money by fucking you over with charges.

Don't get a student loan; the dirty cunts will fuck you right over.

Student Car

A small car with only two doors and push forward seats that all students seem to have. Usually in silver or red. Around 4 or 5 lanky students try and squash into this small car and all of them try and call shotgun in a bid to be least squashed. Blasting alternative mainstream from their radios.

Student 1: Like my new car?
Student 2: It's a bit of a student car.
Student 3: I call shotgun
