London:
It seems like a long, long time when students at Britain's top
university bragged about their brains. Now, undergraduates at
Oxford claim they are the "worst behaved" in Britain.
One in three among the university students said they got so "out
of their heads" on beer and wine that they urinate or vomit in
public "at least" once a week.
Around three-quarters were proud of the fact that they showed
unrestrained sexual behaviour "whenever they had the chance", the
Daily Mail reported.
The majority blamed the pressure of academic work and parents'
"unrealistic" expectations.
Students from eight British universities were asked which they
thought had the most badly behaved students. The survey was part
of a new MTV series, "The Freshers".
Oxford topped the poll, with 87 percent of its students believing
they deserved the title.
It was followed by Bristol, Manchester, Leicester, Leeds
Metropolitan, Bournemouth and Essex.
The worst offenders were those studying medicine, law and history
An Oxford spokesman, however, said there might be a bit of
exaggeration in the results.
