St John's College (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

Plus, which thread is this in? cos it tells me its in the St. Johns college one, but the subject is 'Why st johns rather than oxford?'

Sorry mate, just thought you seemed overly confident on a subject which to you appeared to only come from hearsay. Also, how have you spent a term there and not met anyonefrom johns, its like one of the biggest with the most folk. Never mind anyhows. Have a good new year.

There are 13 people from St. John's doing MML, out of 190. It's quite reasonable I haven't met any of them yet

(Why did I go and look that up? I don't know).

It happens; I swear I haven't met a single engineer from Trinity

I reckon they just shy away from our ness

Have you seen a REALLY tall guy with big curly ginger hair? He's one of the more distinctive John's MMLers, and also my college brother


I've met a Trinity engineer...well, I think he's actually a ChemEng...And I met him before term started, so maybe it doesn't count.

Just out of interest; could people post why they chose St. Johns as a college? Mine reasons were quite simple so i'll start:

Family ties, wanted big; central, sporty and not so intense college. From the open day johns fitted the bill so i didnt see any reason why i shouldnt apply.
Anyone else have any reasons?

I got pooled there. Awesome college. Except soapy.

Picked it out of the prospectus to visit on the open day because it offered all the subjects that I was interested in, and was in a good location. When I got there, I just fell in love with everything about the college. Since being here, I know it's the right college for me. The size, location, facilities etc are all just what I need, and I'm still in love with it The accommodation costs are a bit steep though, the only bad thing!

I never even thought to look at accommodation costs; i never thought the average would vary between colleges. I stayed in Jesus's North Court on a school trip; Those rooms were sooo nice!
I have to say; its a good job i had chosen Johns before i stayed in cripps for the open day; my room was (large but) Terrible! A crack went right across the big window and it smelt of the 70's.

Didn't know you were pooled! Did you do an open application or did you not make your first choice?

And oi. Don't think I haven't forgotten my stash.

If you like your wooden floors coal black, you'll love cripps...

You know my college hubby? He managed to strip all the varnish off his floor on the last night, when he had a party that got a bit out of control...

And no, I'm sure you never told me you were pooled!
