Was just wondering why all these second-rate nothing colleges (Trinity, Peterhouse etc ) have got their own threads, and King's doesnt - shocking!!

I applied for English, anyone else that applied to King's out there?

Yep, me Hmmm, have to admit I'm trying to withold judgement until I know if I'm fortunate enough to have been pooled (I'm sure if I somehow managed to end up in any of the colleges it would immediately become the best), but King's is exceptionally beautiful and I liked the relaxed atmosphere. I'm a wannabe philosopher btw. I was intending to start this thread weeks ago but never got round to it, so thanks! Good luck

I was helping out at the interview desk at King's, so probably walked one or two of you to your interview/test/room...hopefully none of you were one of the people I walked to their interview and walked so quickly they ended up out of breath and probably went into the interview hyperventilating.

Good luck

Ey thats not kind. Peterhouse isn't second rate its just small. I hope u get pooled to Gurton and then u'll c wat second rate is (well no actaully I couldn't wish that on anyone )

** i'd like to withdraw comment above, Girton looks like a nice place**

Lovely. I love philosophy (the likes of Wittgenstein and Russell). Hope we can meet up at King's...
