An online message board for students. Most users are smug preening tossers who think anything lower than an A* grade means you fail at life forever and will be doomed to work at McDonalds unless you do Physics, Maths or Chemistry. TSR also has an unhealthy obsession with Oxbridge, engaging in daily masturbation sessions to the Times Online League Tables and exiling anyone who doesn't get into a university within the top 5.

TSR users won't hesitate to use their signatures to remind you exactly of their A* grades, what their UCAS choices are along with some 'hilarious' lolcat picture that takes ages to scroll past. Politically, TSR users are extremely left wing, so if you dare say anything bad about immigration, multiculturalism, Islam, feminists, the EU, Marx or the Labour party, you will be torn to pieces, called any combination of the words 'scum', 'racist', 'sexist', 'fascist', 'bigot' or worst of all; 'Tory'. Yes, support the Tories and you might as well tattoo a Swastika on your arse and put "HEIL HITLER" as your sig. There is also a 'rep' system. If you aren't a raging left winger who bums Marx and hails multiculturalism as the Second Coming, prepare to get negged to hell and back. If you want rep, start arse-licking the members with high rep. These tend to be the biggest cunts of all, holding themselves in such high esteem that if their head were any further up their arse, they'd be ingesting stomach acid.
Example of a discussion on The Student Room:

"I think the current economic situation wasn't only caused by the bankers, but Labour's overspending as well."

Reply: "OMMFMFFFG NO IT WAS THATCHER AND TORY SCUM LIKE U STEALIN FROM THE POOR NEG NEG NEG NEG NEG NEG"

Your current rep: -1000 (and that's if the bastards are feeling generous)

"Hey I got my results back. I got a B in English Literature, an A in Maths and a B in ICT."
Reply: "HAHAHAHA ABB YOU SUCK, YOU'RE DUMB, YOU WILL FAIL LIFE 4EVER. AND YOU DO ICT, LOL MICKEY MOUSE SUBJECT. I GOT A*A*A*. KNOW WHY? BECAUSE IM OXBRIDGE MATERIAL

The Student Room, or TSR for short... Beware, all ye who enter The Student Room. As its name sufficiently conveys, the Student Room is teeming with students. And not just any students. The students The Student Room is teeming with are a special brand of toadying ignoramuses of British or British-wannabe students whose sole goal in life is to break the world record for one or more (preferably all) of the following:
1. A* grades at GCSE and A level and unis got offers fromy
2. Studying Dentistry at Oxbridge (additionally, take note of the heart-warming fact that if you're studying something low like English Literature, you will be offered a couch for the nights)
Popular spare time excursions of The Student Roomers include:
1. Woman-bedding (a more popular alternative is woman-bashing)
2. Bashing of Muslamists and Pakis (both constitute a wide range of personally-held beliefs, hard to part with)
3. Generally strutting about like a rooster who has done all that is due of him in life once he has contributed to the production of a fertilised egg fit for either consumption or propagation
The only reason to enter The Student Room would be to troll. Trolls are verily the only incentive for The Student Room's extant status.
The Student Room normal thread title: 'Girls, rate my face. Boys too, I suppose.'
The Student Room normal thread title 2: 'Why is it socially unacceptable to be a virgin?'
The Student Room normal thread title 3: 'The reason there are so many virgins about the place these days is because women are becoming so uptight and that's thanks to Feminazism.'

The Student Room troll thread title: My mum left my little brother with me for the day, and I was wondering if tucking a child into bed is considered child abuse?

The Student Room troll thread title 2: WHY ARE THERE NO PEOPLE IN THEIR 20S IN SOCIAL GROUPS I AM LONELY AND IN MY 20S AND THERE ARE NO PEOPLE IN THEIR 20S IN MY SOCIAL GROUPS?????
The Student Room troll thread title 3: What do you do to become a cleaner at insert name of Oxbridge college? Anything special?
Sadly, most of the troll threads are removed soon by over-zealous mods. If you're lucky you won't miss them. They are vastly entertaining.

A large British student forum that is 99% inhabited by geeks and nerds who spend the best part of their days talking about schools and universities whilst also pretending they're cool and get laid at parties every weekend (whilst having 300,000+ post counts), whilst also discussing how they did in their latest exams, as well as bitching about how they ONLY got an A on (insert GCSE here) or ONLY 598/600 marks in their AS level Physics exam and how they are demanding a remark for 600/600, because obviously it doesn't matter about the fact they have an A. MUST GET THAT REMARK.

For some reason, they're all obsessed with Oxbridge and the other top 5 universities, and don't seem to acknowledge that getting less than A* in your GCSE's or A's in your A-levels doesn't make you thick and doesn't doom you to ex-polytechnic universities (what's wrong with them anyway?)

Politically, the forum is very left-wing, so if you mention ANY negative point about immigration, islam, etc. prepare to be bashed to smitherines in the debate topics.
- Typical discussion on The Student Room -

Geek Girl: I got my GCSE's back today. I got 3 A*, 5 A's and 4 B's. I'm so happy. I'm doing four A levels.

Geek Boy: OMFG. HAHAHAHA. YOU FAILED YOUR GCSES AND YOU FAILED AT LIFE. YOU'LL NEVER GET INTO OXBRIDGE UNLIKE ME, I GOT 12 A* AND I'M DOING 6 A LEVELS .

Geek Girl 2: Just 12 A*?! I GOT 15 A*
YOU'RE BOTH THICK. I'M CLEARLY THE BEST OBBRIDGE CANDIDATE HERE

.. and you know the rest/

A large student forum, populated with people that will tear you to pieces if you dare mention that immigration should be controlled or that it maybe has some negatives. TSR (short for the student room) enforces a brutal democracy - unless you don't go to an expensive public school or disagree with what they say of course.

When signing up, it's best to choose a name such as "Democracy" or "Parliamentarian" - this will let the TSR community know that you too think that people who dare to throw a punch at someone who is stabbing them should be arrested and jailed for assault.
Excerpt from The Student Room forum:

OP: umm I think we should be allowed to defend ourselves more when someone breaks into our home. After all if it was enshrined in law a burglar would think twice and he would be well aware what could happen to him.

Respondent: "OMG! HOW DARE YOU THINK IT'S OK TO DEFEND YOURSELF DON'T YOU KNOW THAT BURGLAR HAS HUMAN RIGHTS!!!!! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF YOU BROKE INTO SOMEONES HOME AND THEY PUNCHED YOU!!! YOU EVIL FUCKER!!!!! ANYWAY DON'T YOU KNOW THAT VIOLENT CRIME DOESN'T EXIST IN ETON COLLEGE!!!! YOU MUST BE POOR OR SOMETHING!!!! I HOPE YOU GET A B AT A LEVEL!!!!

A large student forum where you are treated as scum if your views aren't entirely left wing.

If you have negative views on homosexuality, immigration, animal rights, Islam or any other religion, or disagree with political correctness in any way, shape or form - Then you will be 'punished' with a thing called negative reputation, and once you have negative reputation, you will never be taken seriously again.

The people with enormous amounts of reputation are known as 'CUNTS'. These are the biggest idiots I've ever seen, and they hold the strongest left wing views. These people are the sort of people that get jobs as health and safety executives and ban christmas decorations because they pose a fire hazard. Or the sort of people that believe we should ban pigs and jews just in case they offend muslims.

User 1:
I think that 2 men raising a child poses a problem for that child as he or she will be relentlessly bullied in school because of it.

User 2:
DIE DIE DIE YOU FUCKING BIGOTTED NAZI SCUM! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, HITLER OR SOMETHING? NAH, HITLER WAS MUCH NICER THAN YOU!
HOW CAN YOU EVEN BEGIN TO THINK THAT GAYS SHOULDN'T RAISE CHILDREN?!? ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?!! OF COURSE THEY SHOULD, THEY ARE MORE CAPABLE OF RAISING A CHILD THAN YOU! YOU FASCIST, RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING. I SHOULD WALK ROUND TO YOUR HOUSE AND KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR IDIOCY. GAYS ARE PEOPLE TOO! GET THE FUCK OFF THE STUDENT ROOM, NOW!

A place for cunt cookies to hang out and get to know each other, and discuss stupid issues that obviously need a GPs view instead of some teenage brat.
Also a place where REP is giving out by clicking a thumbs up or a thumbs down and leaving a comment like, "I like pizza"
Two examples from the student room

1. Hey Cerulean, a/s/l? lets meet up? ahahhahahahahah lololool lmao :) :):):)

2. "My penis is falling off, is this normal? should i see a doctor?"

The Student Room is an online forum for teenagers, primarily, but you'll always find adults who exercise their bragging rights because their little Annabelle or Toby got 14 A*s at GCSE and 4 A*s at A Level, and is going off to Oxbridge. This bragging is omnipresent among students too.
There are many different kinds of forums, ranging from 'I got rejected from Oxford. Am I still special?' to 'My friend got into Teesside and is happy. How do I let her down?'. As demonstrated by these forum names, there is a lot of fapping to Oxbridge and its equivalents, where a common mentality is present, that being 'if you don't get in, you fail at life'.
Politically, it is leftward skewed. Surviving for a day as a righty is impossible, as you are hurled abuse from the left majority, being referred to as more -ists and -phobes than there are made up genders. Consequently, an admin or rep will fish you out of the crowd and shut you down.
Things not to criticise on the Student Room: Islam, Positive Discrimination, Wage Gap *coughs* bullshit *coughs*, Racism against white people (rEVerSEd RaCiSm), feminism, gender being a spectrum, Oxbridge (the OJW (Oxbridge Justice Warriors) will be on your back), Immigration etc.
Typical 'The Student Room' threads and responses:
OP: How do I get into Oxbridge with 7 Bs and 3 As?
Reply: Hahaha you must be joking, try somewhere of your level, maybe Leeds Beckett?
-
OP: Anyone going on the Durham open day?
Reply: I got an offer, but I don't need to go as I got an offer from Cambridge instead.
-
OP: My RE teacher told us Mohamed married an 8 year old but didn't consummate the marriage. Is she lying?
Reply: Uh no! Islam teaches love and acceptance, and will benefit the western world!
-
OP: I think immigration should be stricter as it's not economically sustainable to have open borders.
Reply: XENEPHOBE!!!! AHHHH HOW DARE YOU CRITICSE IMMIGRATION. @cakeinmyface DELETE HIS ACCOUNT NOW, GATHER ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND DESTROY HIM.
-
OP: How do I live after a Durham rejection?
Reply: Lol your personal statement must have been proofread by someone at Leicester.
