What A levels are you taking and have you started prepping for STEP yet?

Biology, chemistry, maths and further maths how about you?
Kind of but I’m really struggling with it at the moment so I really need to start properly preparing for it

Aha okay! All I knew about her was that she had brown hair and was interviewing for HSPS on 6th December so it was a pretty long shot :laugh:

and does anyone want to start a newnham group chat on Facebook messenger or something??

Yeah, I'd love to be in a group chat!

(I was the interview helper who had to grab her 🙈... I hope she wasn’t too adversely affected!)

I felt bad for her!

So did I - it was because the helper who was meant to take her to her interview got held up somewhere - but I think she got to go to the loo just before her interview started so it was ok 😂

There's a Newnham Facebook group chat if anyone is interested! You can PM me your Facebook name, and preferably a link if there are other people with the same name, and I'll add you. Or if you're in the Cambridge group on Facebook you can find a post about it there (there are also subject group chats).

[Edited because the group chat I made has joined with another one]

Does anyone know how much autonomy students get in their rooms at Newnham?
Do rooms regularly get checked, for instance?
What would be the chances of getting away with owning a small pet in my room?
