Quiz complete! The letter you scored the highest in reveals the campus building you truly are! 

If you had As, you are..King’s College! Congratulations..you are old! How’s that hip doing, babe? You may not be 1495 old, but you’re getting there.   

If you had Bs, you are..Meston Building! You little menace, misleading confused soul. Chaos follows everywhere you go, yet somehow people can’t help but be mildly entertained. 

If you had Cs, you are..Students’ Union Building! Remember to register for those retakes! Yes, I know that wine got you through the worst heartbreak of your university career, but try not to make it a permanent study strategy. Your liver and grades will thank you later. 

If you had Ds, you are..MacRobert Building! How many existential crises will it take for you to realise you are kinda cool? Moody, brilliant, and full of potential. Maybe don’t let it drain down the sink.  

If you had Es, you are..Sir Duncan Rice Library! Being a teacher’s pet isn’t a personality trait, you pretentious freak. You probably have colour-coded spreadsheets for your life, and yes everyone notices. 

If you had something in between, you are..William Guild Building! You are the Wi-Fi hotspot of personalities; everyone uses you but no one knows why. Stylish, versatile and kind of aesthetic, you exist in the perfect middle ground.
