Actually...a rather sad tale but if you google image st. john's the majority of pictures of the students come from a Bridge Society formal. Let's just say bridge doesn't attract the most aesthetically pleasing characters.

Mmm fitness.

Umm... that's the University Bridge Society. I don't recognise anyone in the photos - no doubt they held their dinner in Johns because it's the best college. :wink:

Hey guys! I'm going to Johns too for medicine, so see you all on the 26th! Hey again steve - did you get into New for clinical?

Just while we're on the topic of medics, what is this Hippocratic oath thing that medics have to swear?

Reply 47

It's a modified version of the oath that Hippocrates wrote (though this has been questioned), for the physicians in his school to abide by. Basically, it is a 'code of conduct'

There is tons about it here:

Yep.... and to make things even more exciting. The BMAT test used to assess the abilities of all the medics applying had a big essay question on it. oh the fun *weeps*

Hey Mark! Yeah, I got into New. I'm going up to Oxford on Saturday, in fact, and lectures start on Monday. Tbh, it's a bit daunting to be about to embark on clinicals, but even more so to have to start cooking for myself. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure if it's possible to live off pizza and microwave meals, but I'll let you know...

Haha, but you got in, so it's all good. When I took the BMAT I decided to do the maths question instead of the biology essay (they've probably got rid of this option by now) and I think I quite possibly made a hash of it, since it seemed too simple to be true and my answer was "a straight line". :rolleyes:

EDIT: Wait, I did the MVAT rather than the BMAT, but I think it's basically the same.

Except MVAT was a far cooler acronym.

YAY! My Fresher's Pack just came! Looks like there's loads of stuff. The bad news? My room rent is £942 for the first term, and I asked for the cheap rooms! :frown:

My rent is £962. Do you have a set or a bedsit?

There's so much stuff in this Fresher's pack

How much does that work out to per week? I forget how many weeks you're actually paying for.

Reply 56

Aired

That's per term, so it's either £96 or £120 depending on if it's for 8 or 10 weeks (I'm not sure which it is)

Reply 57

Stevo: I think it's 10 weeks, so a shade under £100 a week.

Aired: I asked for a bedsit, but I'm not sure what I've got. What about you? I thought mine would be cheaper than that, I must admit. Oh well :frown:

Yep, there's a lot of crap. I've only read the student guides so far. It seems like there is LOADS of adminny stuff for us to sort out.
