Random question, what is the food like at Emma?


I went for a summer school there and ngl it was the best English style food I've had since my nan stopped making chips! :smile: Plus I think Emmanuel has the nicest dining hall in Cambridge it's the only one with a bit of colouring in whilst still looking traditional, but all the summer school students said Pembroke does the best food apparently xD

I've applied to Emma for natural sciences, and will hopefully get an invite for an interview soon. Does anyone what the arrangements are for staying over on your interview day? I heard some people coming from far are allowed to stay two nights for free, what exactly would the criteria for that be? I'm from the Netherlands, and unless both my interviews are in the morning the best flight arrangement would be arriving the evening before and leaving the afternoon after.

EDIT: never mind, found information online

Has anyone heard back from Emma about HSPS interview? I haven't and I'm going crazy as the deadline is in two days.

Pembroke does the best food because they've got a Michelin star chef. But formals at Emma aren't bad (it's funny though because a lot of the stuff from formal gets served the next day at normal hall, from what I've seen last year desserts always get "recycled").

Lah di dah Pembroke! :wink: yeah I had an Emma formal back in August and loved it :smile: is the thing about stealing cutlery from each formal until you amass a full set of your own an actual thing? One of the 3rd years told me everyone leaves formals with like a fork down their bra or a spoon in their pants :biggrin:
