Students Fined for Bad Behaviour

Information obtained under the Freedom of Information Act has lead to reports of the scandalous behaviour of Oxford University students.

Overall, the University is said to have given out £30,000 worth of fines, and has demanded hundreds of hours of community service.  It appears that St Edmund Hall  holds the title for fining its students the most for their behaviour. Its students managed to rack up £2,500 in fines.

What sort of things have they been getting up to? Well, "misuse of a car park" (wonderfully vague, but meriting 20 hours of community service) and throwing eggs (which received 10 hours). Even keeping neighbours awake with antics between the sheets is included.  Hit up the link for more info.
