I'm applying for Natural Sciences at Cambridge and Physics at Imperial, Exeter, Birmingham and Durham.
What I'd like to know is is there still a social hierarchy at university? Like a popular crowd? Are there certain groups that are cooler than others, and certain groups who always get invited to parties and others who never get invited to parties? If so, then what is it based on? Looks? Personality? Money? Are the same people who were popular at secondary school popular at university?
