Re: What do you want to know about Cambridge?Cool. Well, grades permitting, next year I'll be a first year PPS-er.(Original post by TimmonaPortella)
Yep, first year lawyer
edit: I use "swamp" loosely, to be fair. Although I've not been there in the summer months.
Can I ask what the accommodation's like? Also, is Magdalene really very traditional (and if so, in what ways)?
Thanks! -

...Really? But we seem so friendly.
That may be, but the actions of your forefathers will be judged by history
Are you sure those ones are official college cats?(Original post by Doughnuts!!)
I'm disappointed...I thought that you knew everything! I may be wrong, but I'm pretty certain that Pembroke has one and I've seen one several times in Selwyn. -

Re: What do you want to know about Cambridge?That's right, now review your description of Homerton seeing as I'm the only Homertonian you know
Right folks, seeing as there are too many Cambridge lawyers in this thread and it's getting unhealthy, I am now assuming representative for the CUTWC (Cambridge University Tiddlywinks Club). -

Re: What do you want to know about Cambridge?Guys guys guys, we all know Homerton is a **** college somewhere near Oxford, but we have more important things to complain about; John's and Oxford. Get on it.(Original post by Cast.Iron)

Thanks!
If it's very traditional, I haven't noticed. There's a formal every night, which I guess might make it traditional; but that's not going really to make your experience "traditional" if, like every undergraduate, you don't go to every one of them.
Erm, I don't know. In everyday life you won't notice it being "traditional" at all. I don't know exactly what would make it "traditional". -

Re: What do you want to know about Cambridge?Christ's has the cutest, friendliest cat called Milton. It can play a major role in the life of Christ's undergraduates, sitting on your window sill ( especially if you are on a ground floor building, e.g. in W, Y, New court) and offering essential pastoral, moral and academic support.(Original post by Arialaxe)
Which colleges have cats?
Which colleges have the most cats?
Of the colleges that have cats, which are the cutest?

How prominent a role do the college cats play in the lives of Cambridge undergraduates?
To what extent would you argue that the college cats are the single most important influence in the personal support of the Cambridge undergraduates?
(Edit: I should add this disclaimer, for any miserable TSR cat-haters, that I do not expect these questions to be answered...)
Christ's is awesome, we have a cat(Original post by chickenonsteroids)
Anyone know much about Christ's College?
I'm not sure what college i'd like to apply to yet
. We also don't get as many tourists as other colleges, yet have an awesome location that isn't far away from anywhere you need to go, and if you do need to go to Girton we are right next to a taxi rank.
We have a reputation for working hard, but the college has apparently become more relaxed in recent years and I don't feel they put too much pressure on us.
Being a medium sized college, we have a good community where after a term I know the majority of people in my year, yet it isn't small enough for rumours to spread through college quickly. The people are what makes the college a great place to be really.
The only thing I can warn you about is the food, especially if you are vegetarian. The quality and range of food is questionable. I once got served a mushroom burger, where the 'burger' was a mushroom. Also, when I invited friends for formal, they called the main course 'Uncle Ben's rice' and the dessert was a hollowed orange filled with calippo. Honestly though, this is the only downside and it's not really a reason to turn down the best college in Cambridge.
I assume that was intentional? (Y)(Original post by Cast.Iron)

In answer to your fourth question: MASSIVE. Rumour has it that if you go to stroke him and he walks off, you're gonna get a third! Make or break really. -

Re: What do you want to know about Cambridge?No, it was the year before I went there (2003). He was called Scipio. Glad to see the story hasn't been forgotten!(Original post by The West Wing)
I think it was 400 years ago though -

Re: What do you want to know about Cambridge?How I feel exactly!(Original post by withoutwax1111)
Has any one heard of cambridge giving an offer by mistake? I don't think I did that well at interview and somehow got an offer, and I'm just really insecure about it. Thanks
?
