Ditting Suck

Hey lady, you just asked what people were wearing - you didn't specify a gender!

I think they also have a sale on women's clothing, if that helps :smile:

Fortunately us lads get away with simply pulling out a suit, white shirt and a nice tie. What i want to know, is what the dress code for first hall on Sunday is. It says no gown, but does that mean we can go in casual dress? Or, do we have to wear a suit etc.

Do you reckon that our college's rent is much higher than other college's?? My friend in Catz only has to pay like 700 pound per term including KFC , plus as I read through other college's thread, it's significantly lower!!

What do you expect? When you're going to the best college in Cambridge, you will have to pay a premium for it! :biggrin:

On a serious note, from what i have heard, I think Johns rooms and food are quite good by most colleges standards.

And also, how long does this prepayment rent cover? 8 weeks? 10 weeks? or what?

In short, how much is the rent per week if mine said 870.51 per term??

Im in A and similarly my rent is £870.51 - for a bedsit. Its a good place to be, next to the river and closest to new court.

oh, so that's actually not bad at all!! Btw, I know asking this is a bit silly but since I haven't had to declare any kind of this form, I don't know what is meant by "Next of kin"? Is it your parents, siblings, or what?

Yay! More people in the 870.51 club!

I'm on F staircase though :frown:

And BTW - did anybody else LOVE the descriptions of the other colleges in the pale blue handbook in the Freshers pack??????

I read that too! I thought they were hillarious. Especially the descriptions of Trinity, Christs and Kings - good comedy.

Apparently I am in E... E24 methinks. I thought they'd made a mistake with the 26 to begin with. i'd somhow got it into my head that there were 4 rooms to a staircase. God knows where. The rent does seem a little high tho...

Haha you guys, enjoy your stair climbs! Those concrete stairs frighten me, possibly because the first time I went up them I was rampantly pissed and in high heels and fell over lots.

So does anybody get a cheaper rent than 870.51?
