How do you know? I assumed i would be in Cripps because i had to fill out a form to say which room 'i would like.'

EDIT----

By the way, what subject group is Internation Relations in? Are you applying as a postgrad?

I am doing a postgrad, so I will not be living on-campus. IR is a subject group of its own, I do not actually know whether its related to SPS in any way. Its hosted by the Centre of International Studies.

Hey Tom, why the 26th? College did not write anything like that to me, so I will pop in on the morning of the 29th.

It's a specific thing for science subjects (Maths, Eng, NatSci, Med and VMed, I think). Does anybody know what it will actually involve?

Hi, I'm Sammy, and I'm going to be arriving on the 26th to do Biological NatSci.

Regards.

Its purely optional. Remember there is first halls on sunday night, so i am going up on the saturday. What letter did you get about cripps, and when did you get?
Reply 13
Thanks for that I was a touch worried, i never expected to even get an offer let alone that it would be confirmed.
The letter came back in March time when they asked you to express preference on bedsits/ sets and smoking/non.
As for the option of when you arrive do you have to inform college, perhaps when you send that UCAS form back with the unit grades questionnaire or is it merely a matter of turning up?
I'm also already at John's... Alex, about to start second year studying History. I've been told that the 1st is the date I should be going back but all this has scared me...

Huge congratulations to all of you coming up this year. It can be a bit frantic at first but Freshers week is great and settles you in well. John's is a great college (the best in fact...) and you will soon feel at home.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday and see you soon!

To be honest I have no idea why you guys are coming early! Nor what we are going to do with you?! I guess you get a longer freshers week which is way cool! It doesnt really matter what day you get back 29th/1st... But last year we had a massive house party on the first night. All the Johnians will want to see eachother again so I guess we will have another! Loads of freshers came last year, so you may want to be there for that.

Hey guys,
I'm on the JCR too...hi TOM! It's Laura! didn't realise you were on here. You are going to be so glad you have chosen Johns :smile: We've been planning freshers week right now and have some really cool things in store (I'm Entertainment's Officer you see...)
I've just done my 1st year and have lived in Cripps last year. It's a lovely place to live (bit ugly from the outside) but definitley some of the nicest rooms in Cambridge!
Well done again
