as the title says, post here if you are a current/prospective/start-next-year student, or you just have questions/remarks in some way vaguly related. hopefully this will become the official corpus thread!
i've also got a question: are the famed tortoise races indeed factual events or is this mearly a glorious myth?

Deary me, I would have thought that if you could get into Oxford, you could also find the specific board full of colleges at the top of the page. Standards must be dropping.

lol yeah, i need to watch that, some people find it offensive!
Re: The Corpus Christi Thread - post here if you're a current/prospective student
yes the further south you go the more offensive it seems to be - i can just about get away with it jokily when im having a "yorkshire" day but people that are unaware of my tendancy to randomly speak yorkshire get rather offended by such things

Ooh - I went to Corpus on the open day, and I was shown round by a very very scarily enthusiastic biochemist, who kept on telling us why we should take biochemistry, even though none of us were remotely interested. A friend of mine is going there for Maths in October though - he originally applied to Worcester, but got reallocated before interview because Worcester were soo oversubscribed, and consequently got offered a place at CCC - and you'll be right next to me at Merton! I liked Corpus, but it was perhaps a little too small for me!

ahh, but you see, I like the smallness! merton has beautiful grounds, i hope you enjoy it there.
If you see a rather lost bedraggled and looking person with a total of three bags/rucksacs about her person that look as though they've been dragged through a hedge backwards, and holding several books, a folder and map that she keeps dropping (probably into the nearest puddle) that'll be me!
What was your friend like? i met quite a few mathamatitians...

I could easily fit that description - my hair is always a mess and I'm always dropping stuff! My mathmo friend - his name's Misha - sort of quirky, but good fun nevertheless. Curly hair, reasonably tall...

Misha... not a commen name, shoudl eb easy to recognise him. lol, i can see how that conversation is going to go:
me: hi, i juts heard someone call you misha, i know who you are!
misha: um, how?
me: someone told me about you on this forum, well, i don't know who they were exactly, i think they're next door...
misha: *looks alarmed and backs away*

Just say "Henry from Merton" and it might not be quite so traumatic!!
Re: The Corpus Christi Thread - post here if you're a current/prospective student
Sweetness.. another mathmo. I'm in my first year doing Maths at Corpus so if you're a prospective mathmo you can ask as specific question as you like; otherwise, I'm afraid my answers will be limited.
