Any of you guys know a good place for up to around 30 people to basically loiter for an afternoon?

Inside and warm would be good, and near the centre preferable...

The reason.

weatherspoons?

Wetherspoons was my first thought, too. Fairly central, easy to get to, cheap food and drink.

The grad bar at the top of the University Centre has enough space for everyone, nice views, and inexpensive food and drink.

Bill's is usually pretty busy, but if its not a weekend that would be a great place to go.

One of the most annoying things about being at Cambridge is the length of time it takes for someone to respond to e-mails! Does anyone know when the Cambassador meeting is tomorrow and where it is? An e-mail was sent round to everyone, but I can't find it :frown:

You must be unlucky. By and large I found people to be very prompt.

You should set up hermes to redirect to something like Gmail, that way your emails will be very easily searchable.

I have thoughts on management.

On the other hand, it sounds like a good way to get an extra year in Cambridge, a lot of the stuff in it actually sounds quite useful, and companies generally like that sort of thing. In fact it looks like a way to get part way through professional exams while being surrounded by friends from your first three years and with some more interesting stuff thrown in.

It's supposedly quite competitive. A couple of my friends are thinking of doing it and you need at least a good 2.i to stand a chance.

Thinking about leaving law?! :tongue:

I know someone who started the Management Tripos this year, after reading MML for two or three years. If you'd like, I can ask him any questions you have or put you in touch.

I went to the talk on the management tripos in third year, and it didn't sound all that hard. I don't know if that's actually how it plays out though.

Yeah, I've heard that it can effectively be a doss year if you want to treat it as such.

Stopped thinking about going into a legal career early last year. If you could put me in touch, that would be absolutely amazing!

Dammit. Got an awful 2:2 last year...

Original post by harr

Precisely my thoughts on it! Been sorta thinking about it recently, but it's beginning to seem like a more attractive idea.

It's odd, I'm glad to be home but I'm really missing Cambridge.

Ahh yes, I remember you mentioned that before. I meant academically. I'll message you on facebook now.

Grass is greener? I am slightly jealous of you. Being home must be cozy. And you don't have to worry about food etc. :tongue:

I'm staying in Cambridge for a few days with some friends. We wanted to enjoy being here without huge amounts of work (we have continuous room licenses and we barely saw each other the last two weeks so a catch up was necessary). It's nice, but being here without anything scheduled feels strange.

The last time I ventured my thoughts on that in here, I got negged to within an inch of my life by a band of lurking finance people. And I think you were one of the offending parties.
