Northern students bullied by ‘toxic’ southerners at Durham University

Northern students from Durham University have shared their stories of bullying from their peers

Lauren White, 20, from Gateshead, experienced endless ridicule because of her background and eventually moved back home during her studies at the university. She then wrote an article about the experience and was ‘inundated ‘ with messages from other students who had experienced the same. He said: ‘As a student from the North East of England studying at Durham University, I am regularly belittled and made to feel like I do not belong within the University because of my accent and where I am from.

He added: ‘On a night out, I was approached by a female student who said that she would sleep with me as she had a “poverty fetish” and asked me to start a fight to impress her as “that’s what you people do, you fight whenever you get drunk”.’
