    Has anyone been to a Cambridge College Open day?
    Hello everyone,

    I've booked a place on the Newnham College Cambridge open day this Wednesday the 4th July and I was looking forward to it until I looked at the programme and saw that part of the day was spent doing 'workshops', one on the Cambridge interview and a second on the application process and personal statements. I was just wondering if anyone had done one of these college workshops and could tell me what they entail because I'm kind of nervous as I'm going by myself :P


    Thanks very much for any replies in advance!

    I've heard about these - don't be nervous It's not a test of your abilities. I think it's just to help you as much as possible. I don't think they ask you to do much - I reckon it's just someone talking at the front and just briefing you I also encourage you to go to as many other colleges for tours on the Open Days as possible - it'll help you make an informed decision!

    Have fun!

    Enjoy, I'm attending the one at Kings the day after! I've heard that it's nothing toilsome; just to assist you.
