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.

I think the fact that he reminded her that it wasn't the best choice for a guy to watch her drink actually shows he's a lot more open and/or kind than most.

"I love working with students at all levels, helping to prepare them as they begin their journey into the world. As with any job, there are challenges, such as often having more work than time, and the bureaucratic aspects of working in a large organization," Lisa from the University of Kansas explained to Bored Panda some of the pros and cons of her job.

I also wanted to get Lisa's opinion about what kind of dynamic and relationship between university professors and students leads to the best academic results. In short, I was curious about the most effective way of teaching students. Hands-on teaching, practical projects, and professors willing to explain each step lead to the best outcomes.

    The Dunning-Kruger effect. The dumber or more ignorant (one is inborn while other is lack of information) the more likely you are to be overconfident and to make incorrect decisions. Conversely, it takes a loong time to work through the valley of decreasing confidence as you learn more before you start trusting yourself again. Use teenagers learning to drive. You instantly think you know it all and cause havoc. It takes about 10 years to get enough miles behind the wheel where you can trust yourself behind the wheel to make the right call. Not coincidentally, that's the age insurance premiums start coming down too. Its also why the guy who watched 1 Joe Rogan video thinks his opinion on COVID is true while Fauci words his statements in a likelihood "We are pretty sure of x". Fauci et al know enough to understand how many other factors go into it so you include that doubt.

    "Research has found by now that simply passing down knowledge isn’t the best way for students to learn in most cases. Professors have the expertise but—as the old journalism maxim says— 'show, don’t tell' is usually a more effective way to teach," Lisa said.

    "Having students do projects, whether they’re semester-long or small enough to do in a class period, helps them learn skills and present their knowledge in a more meaningful way. Showing students how to do each step and then having them do it for themselves helps them retain the skill and gain confidence."

    As a Canadian adult trying to further my education I'm currently paying just under 700 dollar a high school course. For the university program I want I'm currently looking at 7-10 thousand a year for tuition. I've looked at the same programs in the states and they are on par or cheaper (if you are a resident of said state). Not really sure where this idea that we have cheap or free education comes from.

    It depends on the province. My daughter goes to college and we live in Quebec, the cost per session is less than $250 (administration fees) plus books which can be bought used directly from other students on an app they have (so the school doesn't make a profit of them). High school is free if you are under 18, if you are over 18 and want to finish high school, it's less than $100.

    Much of the ‘Overheard’ project’s success on Instagram can be explained by the hilarious content that it posts (who here doesn’t enjoy a hearty chuckle with their first or second cup of coffee?), as well as its engagement with its audience.

    All of the ‘Overheard’ Instagram accounts invite people to share the things that they’ve heard with the project, with a chance of getting their conversations featured. “We’re all ears,” the tagline on the Instagram accounts isn’t just for show—it’s a promise.

    Currently, the ‘Overheard University’ account has just over 324k followers on Instagram. Meanwhile, ‘Overheard LA’ has a whopping 1.6 million fans, with ‘Overheard New York’ trailing only slightly behind, boasting 1.5 million.

    ‘Overheard London’ is a bit more reserved than the most popular accounts, hosting ‘only’ 400k fans while ‘Overheard LE LABO’ is still getting used to Instagram with a relatively modest (yet still impressive) follower count of 77.5k. These accounts are just the tip of the iceberg.

    Previously, my colleague Liucija reached out to one of the ‘Overheard’ project’s representatives to learn more about it. “While our home will always be Instagram, we have begun to expand to other verticals such as text via the community app Clubhouse, where we host a biweekly comedy show and are exploring some really exciting product ventures,” the rep explained to Bored Panda.

    Yes, something. Or don't allow downvotes, period. It's sort of vicious. I literally have "Such and Such comment just got it's first upvote!" like 20 times for a comment I'll make, because it's upvoted, then down, then up then down then up. Some make a competitive game out of it, and it's stupid. People should be able to say what they think and so be it. Like it, great. Don't, oh well. Unless it's vicious or bigoted or spam, let people talk.

    The ‘Overheard’ spokesperson told Bored Panda that the aim of the project is to connect people through something they have in common, like a shared location or experience. “Whether that is living in NYC (@overheardnewyork), dating on Bumble (@overheardbumble), or talking about celebrities (@overheardcelebs). It’s our goal to make people laugh and provide moments of joy and self-reflection,” they said.

    Great science and great art usually contain plenty of the other. Yo Yo Ma and Edward Witten both changed the world by making strings vibrate. Bob Ross and James Hutton both saw the beauty of uplifted mountains and happy trees hanging on their side.

    Arts grad here. Never been unemployed. Just got offered TWO full time jobs on the same day earlier this week (from two places where I have been working part time temporarily) both at very good salaries, and I didn't interview for either. Cliches and stereotypes are boring.

    I knew this girl back around 2008 or so, she had an art history degree and job making about 35k a year -- about 43.6k a year in 2021 dollars. Not bad for someone in their mid-20s in Alabama (where cost of living is much lower than it would be in NYC or someplace like that).

    No need to feel stupid. I’m also no expert but I’ll try to explain: The so called pH value is used in chemistry (and any other related field) to specify if an aqueous solution is acidic or the contrary: basic/alkaline. I won’t go into details but „acidic“ or „basic“ describes how a solution behaves in a reaction with water. Low pH values mean acidic, high pH values mean basic. The higher the pH value the more basic is the solution and vice versa. Blood is mostly water, therefore an aqueous solution. So by saying that Starbucks coffee raises the blood pH value, it actually means the blood will be more basic than before. Hence the „joke“ that going to Starbucks makes you basic. Hope this clears things up.

    I have run into a few very drunk professors at bars and it has always been the highlight of my night. One told me about a fight he got in with his transgender drug dealer. Fast forward to the following week when he awkwardly asked me to stay after class, tries super hard to spit the words out, and I cut him off and say, "Don't worry about it, I am sure I will tell this story but I will never use your name because I frankly don't remember it and have to check my schedule to find it when I email you." He actually wrote me a letter of recommendation for grad school, under no actual duress, I had a solid A in the class and a 4.0 GPA. I still cannot remember his name. Really liked his class though. Pretty embarrassing, but I never knew my professors' names, any of them. I am really really bad with names.

    The founder of ‘Overheard’ took the entire brand in a fresh new direction by publishing an honest-to-God physical, printed ‘newspaper’ called ‘The Overheard Post.’ It’s a lot of fun, for fans of satire featuring things like a ‘millennial weather report’ and tongue-in-cheek ‘obituaries’ for plastic straws and other things.

    Doesn't matter, you'll always find gullible fools who will accept your human excrements as scientific proof. And if they ask for sources tell them that the government took them down because the information wasn't meant for the general public and would be too damaging for the Illuminati. ( LOL, seems I offended a lot of anti-vaxers , flatearthers and other fools.)

    Jesse told The New York Times that he and his team do their best to inspect and vet the stories they receive from internet users. “We aren’t journalists—we basically do our best. I think half of the overheard stuff is legit overheard strangers. I think a lot of it is like a group of five friends drinking and talking. And someone spontaneously says something funny and the friends send it in,” he said.

    Now look up the connection between your social skills (a bit different that ones involved in dating, of course, but there's an overlap) and salary. Also huge percent of jobs is found via recommendations. Finally, dating may give you additional boost of competing motivation if you're seeing someone who is serious about their career goals. :3

    I remember taking a break at 8 pm, going to a concert then partying with friends, getting totally wasted, lying on the floor of the friends' bathroom for a while, going home at 6 am as the sun rose, sitting back at my computer and actually writing the conclusion of my master thesis. It worked wonders.

    I would say at the beginning of the semester: "write down your phone number and the ACTUAL PHYSICAL PLACE YOU LIVE." And then I would explain: "A few years ago we had a student who got the flu and he lived off campus and no one knew where. He didn't go to class and no one could get a hold of him. Finally, evidently, his landlady went into his apartment. He had pneumonia, he was horribly sick. He had collapsed on the floor and been there for three days. Yes, he lived. So I explained to my students that I need a physical address so that if you don't show up for a few days I can send someone from the university to check on you. And not one student ever objected and I never had, thankgawd, to use the info.

    As a grad student in the doctoral level we had to read 25 books for one class and turn in a critique for each book. It was a "Foreign Affairs". What we did, there were six students, was we divied up the books, we each read five and wrote critiques and discussed them. I discovered that all these books had been checked out over the years and I was the ONLY one who actually read them, BECAUSE MOST OF THEM STILL HAD UNCUT PAGES. Man that really pissed me off. I was also the only student in the class who "discovered" this.
