How to Spot a Vic Guy (or Subpar Girl). Illustration by Shalini Makdani
1. Burwash. It engages in psychological warfare by forcing Vic’s entire population to withstand the emotional pain of eating Burwash food on a daily basis.
2. Burwash. It’s so bad that it deserves to be counted twice, my stomach wants to get a divorce from me for having to eat there on a daily basis.
3. Vic students enjoy breaking out into song at all hours of the day, at any location, and at increasing decibels. They tend to opt for songs that repeat, as their brains function at sub-par levels due to the lack of nutrition provided at Burwash (see point 1 and 2).
4. They want to be hipsters. Enough said. At least malnutrition from eating Burwash’s food will enable them to fit into their skinny jeans .
5. They love Yonge St. Anyone from Toronto knows that this is possibly the worst place ever to hang out, unless you want crack, a hooker, to get shot, or all of the above.
6. The women are subpar (I have a vagina, and even I am making this comment).
7. Pratt may seem cool, because it looks like Ikea; however, number 3 illustrates how this is not a proper place to study…ever.
8. There is nothing like waking up in the morning to the shrieking of 40 young spoiled rich children who ruin the field of Margaret Addison Hall. There have been many discussions on how to eliminate this issue… The children never survive in these solutions.
9. Bader Theatre. Should be a plus, but always causes chaos during TIFF.
10. FUCK VIC ONE
** Not to be Negative Nancies, we will give you 2 Reasons why Victoria College is ok: 1. It’s not Trin. 2. Gooch is our president.
I’m a Woodsworth student, and even I think this is a stupid article.
Posted by Anonymous | December 26, 2011, 1:33 PM^ such angry comments above! Something to add to the list:
11) Absolutely no sense of humour and the need to attack people when they crack a joke about you. (typical self-important hipsters…) Maybe The Howl should go back to making fun of SMC, at least they can take a joke!
Vic students: get over yourselves!

Posted by Brandon Bailey | February 6, 2011, 1:57 AMIt appears that people here are spoiled. Burwash has great food and not enough people appreciate it – if you disagree with the quality then you have to realize they can’t all give you a five star full course meal EVERY meal. Stop whining.
Then again, seems like it’s all you ever do. So if you did stop whining you would not exist.
Posted by Drudge | February 5, 2011, 5:17 PMIt’s one thing if this was published in The Strand, but we seem to house some defectors within our population. To the two defectors: Then transfer. To Woodsworth.

Posted by :D | February 3, 2011, 4:18 PMTypical.
Two spoiled rich kids write nonsense to get attention.
Posted by Hellno | February 3, 2011, 4:05 PMWow, that’s original, drawing a stereotypical hipster. Congratulations.
1+2: Common sorrows lead to brotherhood. Why do you think we’re a close knit community.
3: First, we don’t break out into song. Second, we could if we wanted to because we have friends at Vic, who the heck likes or has heard of Woodsworth? Even my Firefox browser wants to correct your name.
4: Every college has hipsters. This stereotype about Vic does not even exist.
5: You ran out of ideas so you had to list a street? Not only that, you mentioned one of the most famous and enjoyable streets in Canada, it is in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest street in the world at 1,896 km, it connects at Yonge and Dundas which is an incredible area and it is historic.
6: At 2 girls for every guy we have a good choice. They’re also the most intelligent on campus. Are you just bitter you are not getting any attention yourself?
7: Pratt is a modern library with tons of computer capability and many good quiet places to study. Were you studying in the lounge?
8: This is irrelevant.
9: Not only is Bader a great theatre, but it is also used for classes. For those who like Movie Stars, we’re right next door at TIFF.
10: Fuck… You?
Posted by Whatthe | February 3, 2011, 4:04 PMSup OP? My name’s Davin, I’m Vic (or if I were a hipster, that place you don’t know, not from Woodsworth, that restaurant). Your iconoclastic article is stunningly accurate; I just put the iSight on my Mac, and saw that the outline was pretty similar. Except as a commuter, I am poorly fed, not because I (refuse to) go to Burwash, but because I need money for Sonic Boom, Future’s cakes and previously had spent $250 on 5 American Apparel hoodies. I’m also paper thin because my body refuses to gain weight despite gorging myself in Häagen-Dazs and never exercising. My arteries are also hard as diamonds, for the win, ye’ know.

This is such art, whereas an inferior wordsworth student would assume this makes fun of vic students. It actually makes fun of the infantile view Wordsworth students have of vic students.
It seems the artist has some explaining to do, for the wordsworth howl has clearly been had. This is severely rude, considering wordsworth students are not as infantile as this rude pro-vic artist would have them out to be.
