This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Stockton chapter.
Attending a University in the South Jersey-Philadelphia area definitely comes with its perks. We have a dialect and characteristics that are specific to us. Try going nearly anywhere else in the world and asking where the nearest Wawa is to get a bottled “wuter.” It’s probably not going to work out in your favor… Read on for signs you go to college in South Jersey or Philly. (Most involve food because we can’t even begin to explain the driving situation.)
1. You know what a Wawa is.
2. You probably pronounce water as “wuter.”
3. You live for late night half-apps specials.
4. You describe anything and everything as “jawn.”
5. You constantly have debates on whether breakfast sandwiches contain Pork Roll or Taylor Ham.
6. You live for late-night Wawa runs.
7. You know where that small-town pizza shop everyone goes to is.
8. Not to mention, you know the diners open 24/7 that you survive off of during finals week.
9. You know no other word for a hoagie.
10. Water ice is your go-to dessert during Summer break (or any time really).
11. You know where all the good cheesesteak places are.
