We respect people’s privacy, so we tend to minimize the amount of eavesdropping and gossiping we do. However, sometimes we can’t help it—the things that we accidentally overhear are soooo good that we just can’t wait to share them with all of our friends and, well, everyone online. If you keep your ears open, you might hear the most hilarious and bizarre things echoing down the halls of your college or university. Higher education provides enough gossip-worthy tea and beans for spilling to keep us all entertained for days on end.
That’s where the super popular ‘Overheard University’ Instagram page comes in. It’s a spin-off account that sprouted to complement the massively successful ‘Overheard LA’ account that Jesse Margolis founded back in 2015. Since then, the ‘Overheard’ project has grown massively. We’ve collected some of the funniest things that were overheard at universities everywhere for your enjoyment, Pandas, so have a scroll down and upvote your favorite ones.
In the mood for some more ‘Overheard’ greatness? We’ve got you covered. Check out Bored Panda’s articles about ‘Overheard New York’ here and here, our recent features of ‘Overheard LA’ here and here, as well as our list of the best posts from ‘Overheard London’ right over here.
Bored Panda was interested to find out more about working at a university, so I reached out to Lisa McLendon, the William Allen White Professor of Journalism and Mass Communications and the coordinator of the Bremner Editing Center at the University of Kansas.
“It’s fun to be surrounded by people who are experts in a wide variety of topics. I learn so much from my colleagues all over campus, plus we have many interesting guest speakers who come to campus for lectures and workshops,” Lisa shared with Bored Panda.
