Stirling University
Created | Updated Apr 13, 2002
Stirling university is a place where odd and unusual things can thrive. For starters many people have never heard of it,
so it allows students to make stuff up about the place without people ever knowing if they are telling the truth or not.
Example:
I once told someone that stirling university had it's own self contained military force, equiped with an old WW2 Sherman
tank. The person looked at me and then nodded in that way that people do when they are confused. "Yes," he said.
"I can see how that would be useful."
Stirling university also has one of the most scenic campus locations in the UK. The beauty of the area can be quite
disarming for visitors, which can allow students to take advantage. There have been cases of students selling rabbits
and ducks to visitors, who are then dissapointed when the animal runs away fearing for it's life.
Even if this information seems bogus, it is no less true than the depiction of Scotsmen in the film "Braveheart."
