Pembroke College (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

Great, thanks so much. Is there a rule whereby odd numbers face into college or similar?

In AA any rooms in the teens/twenties are first floor, any in the 30s/40s are second floor, with rooms on the being directly under rooms 20 higher (ie 14's directly under 34).
I'm pretty true the same is true for CC. BB's a bit smaller, so BB10-13 are first floor and 14-16 are second floor.
Foundress is pretty much completely interlinking (ie the corridors run from aa round to cc), except for the Nihon room on the ground floor, which means aa 1-5 (all 2nd years this year anyway) is separate from the rest of the rooms.

The numbers in the other staircases work the opposite way around, ie the lower the number the more stairs there are.

Hope this makes sense/helps!

(sorry, I know I'm quoting the wrong message, but I'm rubbish at working this website...)

Can anyone tell me anything about the Orchard Building?

.

Judging from the list on Pem's FB, I suppose that we'll be neighbours, then? A lot of maths-related people on our starcase; I guess you'll be regularly stalked by people cursing over maths work sheets

So are you not allowed to go home for a night during full term? If you want to visit family, does it just have to be during the day on a day you don't have any lectures/supervisions, etc.?

In theory, you have to spend so many nights per term within a certain distance of a particular church in Cambridge - so you'd need an "exeat" (permission slip) to go home, and to make up that night. Usually the number of nights isn't a problem because people come down before term, so you've got plenty to make up the count - but in practice few people get exeats anyway.

Yeah, in my experience this is yet another Cambridge rule that sounds strict in theory but is relatively lax in its application. I'd think the more difficult task would be finding a time during term when you can actually afford to take the amount of time out from work needed to travel home But yeah, as long as you don't miss any lectures or supervisions and aren't gone for days at a time I doubt anyone would notice - it's not like they take a register or anything

In that case, how strict are they about letting non college people stay over in the college rooms?

They sent a form ages ago when they were asking about accommodation and there was a checkbox that you could tick if you wanted to use bed linen supplied by the college... I didn't tick it but I think now that I'd rather pay to use the college's rather than my own. Will it still be possible, or is it too late now? Thanks!

Hey, I have a question about the bursaries. I've been admited the EU Bursary, but I wonder when the money is paid to the students? The thing is, we are expected to pay for certain things (accomodation and KFC) in advance, my booklet says, that the deadline is 18th October and on some website (I can't find it right now :s) I read that the bursary will be paid well after that date. So is that the case that I will have to pay for that stuff from my own pocket and I'll recieve my bursary later on? Is that possible to arrange payments to avoid it? And in what form is the bursary paid to the students? Is it kind of taken from the sum that one's college bill amounts up to?
