It also has a very large engineering dept. Your experience seems to be one of elitism. The sign was a by product of the foolish decision to ban all food from the library. Thankfully that decision was reversed last year and the sign was removed shortly after.

You can't even take a backpack beyond the entrance, these days, let alone a whole dog. And yet there seems to be a pack of feral dogs infesting the library?? Let alone the bathrooms. @Ginger, sounds like in UK "Metropolitan" is similar to the US "junior college." Not, as you might think, a college for young children, but easier to get into.

They go to The University of Manchester, the more respected University up the road. "Metropolitan" is basically a euphemism for "easier to get in to". This sign doesn't surprise me at all.
