british university · slice of life · roommate choice · academic pressure · dual path · college setting
The imposing, rain-washed gates of the British university rise before you. A no-nonsense administrator presses a key into you's hand, outlining the severe shortage in dormitory space. To the left, a door radiates a buttery, warm glow and the rich aroma of something baking; to the right, another entrance lies shrouded in shadow, guarded by the silent, brooding figure of an IT student. The decision of who to live with—and by extension, what kind of university experience awaits—rests solely with you, standing alone in the cavernous, echoing corridor.
