Talking So in your College/Uni..

Do the Physics/Chemistry departments have sort of an ongoing feud? At my college they like each other on the whole, but often make jokes at the others expense.
"Oooh look at me, I'm a CHEMIST, I can turn cabbage juice purple" and etc.
Does your college/uni have department rivalries?

Yes, they do and its kind of funny and exceptionally stupid.
Competition and rivalry are two things by the way.
Our departments have rivalry in the most raw sense possible.

We sort of have an rivalry between math and engineering. Engineering thinks math is too unpractical and abstract, and math thinks engineers are not smart enough for pure math, so they just apply it. And then I'm stuck in the middle since I major in math and engineering.

Not really, the Engineers really hate everyone but to a less extent the Mathematics and Computer Science people. But I especially cannot stand the "Artsies". Fuck me I can't even describe how badly I hate those people.

No physics program at my school, but at my friends school the Chemists and the Biologists hate each other.

That's weird, usually chemists and biologists are allies.

But yeah, at my university, the physics department and the chemistry department are very condescending towards each other. It's quite amusing observing two professors from each department have a conversation. It's relatively easy to tell that the physics professor thinks he/she is much more intelligent than a chemistry professor, or visa verse.

My math department acts like they're more intelligent than any other department, since they understand deep mathematical concepts that no one else really cares to learn...

Usually us engineers side with the physics department and make fun of all of the natural sciences. The chemical engineers are a bit in the middle though, but they still tend to mock biologists and the like.

I bet the physics dept. talk shit about engineers as well. Our physics teacher told us that after teaching some "engineers" he wouldn't dare step on a bridge or get into any elevators (jokingly of course). He told us about a student that argued with him how Ohm's law has three equations.... Actually my high school physics teacher and my current physics teacher bash engineers. I don't take any sides but rants/stories are good breaks from lecture especially if they're funny.

The biology section at my university verbally rapes the physics department in all battles, and the chemistry people go "oh noes" and side w/ Bio's.
Then the thermodyamicists go and burn down trees and laugh at us Biologists. We lose there :(
Or the engineers out-muscle the biologists and win because we love plants.

Mostly just the sciences against the arts and to a smaller extent Chem and Phys against Bio. Not wars as much as a "we're better than you" type idea.

As a CS/Math major, I must say engineers are really gay. The only people that are less gay are the arts students.

I don't know about the sciences here at my school but I guess the Philosophy department and the Religious education department does not go along with each other.
The engineering sometimes says that their courses are so much harder than the arts and business.

Physics and Math here are integrated here in terms of having one building and thus all the same classrooms and resources. So they are allied against all the other departments, but don't really make too many jokes/ obviously hate any of them. Except for art students, whom everybody hates except for themselves.

However, it seems that within the building, there is some tension and playful joking between the two. Mathematicians believe that physicists are not smart enough to do the complex math that they are commonly doing, and physicists make fun of the almost complete lack of practicality of abstract, ridiculously-complicated math, while physics can be utilized almost everywhere.

It reminds me of the jokes I've read about a mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer. I find them funny even if most others don't :p.

Shut the fuck up, we'll take the workload and effort required rather than have the worthless degree and shit you'll know after finishing school.

You're just justifying your submission to a very rigid and dull system, "the man."

I doubt you'll really ever accomplish anything you are truly proud of in your entire career.

Secondly, the work required is at least parallel to any other major.

Do not speak about things you know nothing about.

Your inability to form a coherent sentence also makes me wonder if you are studying as much as you make it seem.

It is easy to slack and accomplish nothing, yet still graduate with a degree, just like any other major.

How much person learns is really dependent on the individual.

The city I go to Uni in also has a community college in it. Its nothing formal, but theres an unspoken war between the two. The CC people think the students at my Uni are snobbish pricks, the Uni considers the CC a "lesser college full of dumbshits" <~~ Exact words from a lab assist. :D:D
