Cambridge Freshers Thread 2015

Hi
I'm going to be doing Maths at Christ's this year, and I received a letter saying that I would receive another letter giving me details about accommodation "around the end of August"... Just wondering if anyone else from Christ's has received said letter?

No, I haven't. I don't know where I read this, but I'm 99% sure they sent the letters on September 1st, so they should come soon I know internationals have received their equivalent e-mails.

Ah, okay, thanks! That's a relief to hear.

It was for me too! I so want to know where I'm living. Can I ask what you put down on the form?

Yeah they said they posted the letters yesterday when I was there!

So should get them tomorrow

Great, thank you! Was that for the open day?

My director of studies is one of the people who interviewed me, would it be too cheeky to ask him what he thought of me at interview?

I have heard that they tell you that anyway Some people asked around the time that those who didn't get an offer were requesting feedback, and that is what people said at that time.

right, cos I'm quite fascinated to know what they thought! I also would like to know what score they gave me out of 10...

I heard they traditionally do this at some big dinner when you finish your degree.

Not sure if any college do that sort of thing traditionally.....Never heard of it.
But I know many DoS read out the graduates' PS at their last dinner before the graduation day for a fun. At the college my daughter went, they played it as a game, DoS reading a PS without the name and everyone had to guess who it belonged to. (And the author of PS pretending it's not his/hers)

I thought this was just a myth, or just happened at my college...! I really don't want to relive my PS, haha.

Don't worry, in 3/4 years time it'll be your sweet memory. ....... and after 3/4 yrs of supervisions, you'll be much stronger person who can stand any humiliation, too!!
