Re: Cambridge Postgraduate applicants 2012

Hey guys,

One question... Has anyone ever sent anything of value to his/her college to pick it up there? I am talking about a computer screen which my parents will send to the main college adress upon my arrival. They will send it through courier service hence I guess the receptionist will have to sign up before getting my package. The package will arrive on Friday and unfortunately I am not in college on that day. The college receptionist told me that she will store it for me over the weekend and that I'll get a note when I have to come to pick it up on Monday. It's the best option because otherwise I will have to buy a new one which is wasted money imo....nonetheless i am a bit worried that it might get stolen over the weekend. Do you know whether colleges will lock the place were they store packages?

Any advice is much appreciated. Sry for any typos ... I am in a hurry...

Best

When do oxford grad students (Arts/humanities) typically wrap up their studies/thesis. Bit worried there is going to be some dorment time on my 12 month contract over the summer.

if your masters is 9 months in duration (as are most) then your thesis is usually due around the end of May/early June. My university card expired in the end of June so by that point everything was finished (exams, results etc). So yeah, some people with 12 month contracts (you mean accommodation right?) have a few months extra.

Yeah accommodation. Bit concerned about the extra few months. I know most of my friends hung around in july and I know some of them moved back home and just forked out the remaining months rent even if they werent there.

A friend of mine managed to rent it to someone. That's also an option.

hey guys, the bus that starts from Heathrow airport will drop me off at the Gloucester Green station (10 mins walk from my College). Should I have to drag all of my luggage to the porter's lodge to get the key from him? or will there be any cab facilities? Kindly suggest me some useful tips !!!

Hi - there's a good cab stand at Gloucester Green. Which college are you going on to?

Lloyd's has an account that has a couple strong advantages, it lets you store in pounds, dollars and/or euros and it accepts wire transfers with no fee. The minimum balance is fairly low at £2500 or $3500; on the website it says more, but I found them to be more lenient with students.

Account eligibility

To be eligible you need a gross annual income of £50,000*. For joint accounts at least one of the applicants needs a gross annual income of £50,000*.

Alternatively you can also be eligible if you have £25,000* to deposit (solely or jointly) with Lloyds TSB International within 3 months of opening your account.

* or currency equivalent.

You also need to make an initial deposit into your account within 30 days of opening.

Thanks Cyberpoet !! I am going to Pembroke !!!

Ah not too far at all despite the annoying one-way road systems!

I'll just be across the road at Christ Church. All the best .
