Jock U

So after 6 weeks I've noticed one glaring difference between Queen's University and the University of Western Ontario. Without a doubt, UWO is a Jock School. Those people who you called Jocks in high school are all here. Not that UWO isn't a place for academics, I've met many a smart person here, but the sheer amount of sports being played on campus is amazing. Regardless of weather, 7 days a week people are outside playing football, rugby, field hockey, lacrosse and other sports in the fields outside the music building. I thought maybe it was just me, and that most universities are like this, and Queen's was the exception.

So I asked around.

My colleagues, coming from schools across the country and world all agreed with my assessment.

UWO was Jock U.

"Jock U", sounds like a term you'd use to insult someone.

"Hey Tozer, jock you!"
