Prejudice"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

I sympathizeI go to a university not famed for its working-class intake, and I lie awake at nights fearing I'll turn into one of "them". My West Country accent has been scoured off over the past few years, I eat dinner later than 6 and I pronounce French correctly. My family think I'm a posh weirdo and my university friends think it's odd that I don't go skiing every holiday or own a boat.
You can't win, can you?

The culture gap between home and university was so great I found the latter incomprehensible.I spent a lot of time smiling, nodding and desperately hoping there wasn't going to be a test at the end.
