Ah neat. American college culture is so fascinating to me.

Here in the UK we have absolutely nothing even remotely like this.

University is just a building you go to and attend lectures at, there's no real "campus" at most unis, the entrance is usually same as an office building - street level somewhere central-ish (at least in London), and the only people who hang out at the uni cafes and whatnot are overly posh knobs and grifters who have nothing better to do while most others are off working or getting high at home.

There's no "dorms", there's usually "student halls" but they're not related to the university, and they're not anywhere near it, and "the halls" (like a boarding house) are shared between students of different unis, but are also seen as a ghetto and those who can afford it just rent their own place or house share instead.

I have no idea if my university had any non-staff merch and if it did whether or not anyone wore it or knew about it, nevermind sporting events.
