My vegetarian nephew in law is quite fat as he eats too much cheese as a source of protein.......

Cheese is expensive af anyway :wink:

If you miss kebab, chips and that's sort of stuff, there's always Gardies. :smile:

I suppose going pescatarian/vegetarian for 30 weeks a year is only a good thing for my health tbh. I'll maybe lose some weight too finally

I'll miss donner and chips tho


I thought I was going to lose weight but tbh I've probably stayed around the same mark but still felt, in general, healthier for it anyway.
I started off doing a trial vegetarian period for a week because i thought I'd miss chicken too much and didn't particularly want to stay veggie but then the trial extended into a month and then into a year and... that's where I'm up to so far! :P

It's pretty good that you kept up! tried once but my dad made tandoori chicken on the third day in and I couldn't resist :/
I hope there's someone who's not afraid of spiders in my corridor. I just saw a huge one in my bathroom and now I refuse to pee

Sorry if I'm being stupid here, but what is a CAS? I haven't received any e-mail after yesterday... seems all of the material is coming only through mail and not by e-mail at all!


You need your CAS statement to apply for a visa (if you need one) as an international student. The statement contains more than just the number; it has several bits of information that are important for the visa application.

My son had an unconditional offer, so he got his a while ago; I would assume they are working hard to get everyone's ready and sent to them ASAP.

If you are curious -- It came via email from: [email protected] with the subject line: "Cambridge University Student Visa Application Your CAS statement (CAS assigned)".

It doesn't look like much, but it has all the info you need it in. :smile:

You'll be eating a lot of fries from the 'Van of life', you'll understand exactly what I mean when you see it.


I'm pretty sure I saw it after my interview haha. Went to McDonald's instead though :P

Whoa your interview must've been pretty late?

He normally comes and sets things up late afternoon and opens at night.

But if you saw a blue van at the end of Rose Cres (the street McDonald's is on) opposite Starbucks on Market square, then yeah you saw it :tongue:

You excited to start in October? Enjoy first year, honestly, I'd do first year all over again in a heartbeat.

I just put glasses over them and let my dad deal with them... I guess that's something important I'll learn at uni!

Yep that was it then haha! And my interview was literally the second or third last interview at Trinity, around 7pm I think.

And definitely, I'll be going up in 2 and a bit weeks for rowing :smile:

Ah, late asf interview, didn't you get bored most of the day waiting?

I just need to have the courage to squash it with my shoe/shower it down the drain :redface:
Anyone else for maths at trinity?

Micro perhaps. :smile:

I've just stickied it for them. Maybe they'll get up to double figures in time for Matriculation.


Do Oxford practice a sort of crop rotation? Perhaps this is a fallow year?

Nah, it's not unusual for the other place to struggle to string enough words together to sustain a decent TSR thread. :wink:

We even get them joining Cambridge threads because they are more interesting (cf. @BioOx in the 2017 Applicants Thread)
