Homerton has ensuite for all first years I think.
Does that mean we have more money then trinity?

Homerton may not have as much money as Trinity but they're still ****ing rolling in it.

Also accommodation gets better as you go to 2nd and 3rd year.

So is ensuite pretty much guaranteed for 2nd and 3rd (if i want it, which I do).

Wow, i knew trinity were loaded but over £1 billion in assets is crazy.

Newnham actually have quite a bit of money for a female college...not bad at all...

.........................Harvard............

Newnham is lovely, and their garden party (which I think is on again this year) is amazing value.

The buildings and gardens are really nice.

I've heard Murray Edwards's Garden Party is quite good and good value, too.

Yeah I've heard that too, I've only been to Newnham's personally though. £25 with live music, unlimited drinks and food. Definitely a lot better value than the May Balls I've gone to.

It's certainly something the Americans do beat us at.

Yeah, I know.
The amount of endowments they get from industry is no comparison to what academic institutes get from the industry here. The biggest reason R&D of this country often lags behind other leading industrialized nations.......

I might've already told you (or someone else in TSR), but a couple of boys I know went to Ivy League unis (one of them gave up an offer from Oxford) and they both got full scholarship that's more than enough to cover all the cost = tuition fees, accommodation, and all other expenses, like food, etc....
The only thing their parents had to dish out was their flight fares.

Also, one of my nieces was a visiting researcher/lecturer at Princeton for a few year, and the pay she got there was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above she gets from the university/institute she belongs here in UK.

Hi jneill, I know someone interested in applying to natural sciences but won't be doing A-level Chemistry; she's doing Maths, FM, Physics and Computer Science and she's interested in doing only physics. Would a lack of Chemistry hinder her?

Don't the NatSci Tripos make it hard for someone to only do one subject? Or is she planning to study Maths with Physics for the first year?

Not really, with only Physics + Maths + FM you can do three of Physics, Materials, Earth Sciences, Computer Science.
