Freshers' Q & A thread

what do i need to tell my old doctor before i register with a new one in camb? does he need to give my new doctor my notes and stuff?

I'm a bit confused about some of the stuff you need to do when you get down to Cambridge. I know I have to register with a Doctor down there, and I know I need a gown, but do I need to register with a dentist and do I need a suit as well? I'm going to Trinity. Thanks.

There is a University Dental Service, but you don't have to register with them like you do with a doctor. I haven't (but haven't been to the dentist for over a year - I refuse to pay £15 for them to count my teeth and see that they're all fine.)

I wouldnt normally go that often, since its normally a 30 sec checkup , with them mumbling something about D1, D2 missing etc.....

But last time I went, it was pretty shocking holes in my teeth and al! ....... did you know that the sound of a drill might be enuf to make you think you feel pain!!

Ooooooh. Only had one filling in my life, and it wasn't too bad. Don't think I need any more at the moment. After the braces it can't be much more painful!

Dad's just had half his minging teeth out and some false ones made. I sooooo hope I don't end up like that

i was wondering the same..if i wanna go home on friday eve for my birthday, would it be possible to do all my work during the week/on the train journies there and back, and still manage to get off friday night/saturday/sunday morn/afternoon?

also if i join a drama soc, and do a freshers play or whatever, how much extra time dya reckon i'd have?

Apparently, it came up on xrays.....and it wasnt even the side I thought was suspect Yeah, have heard that braces do ur gums in, when u first get them.....oh well, some ppl like braces on a girl!

Oooh, they were horrible. And the day after I had them fitted, I had to go to my American friend's Thanksgiving party, featuring such culinary delicacies as pecan pie. Delicious, but I couldn't bite anything at all I got rid of them years ago though, so if you're looking for that as an identifier, it won't work! I never kissed anyone with the permanent ones in though - scared the hell out of me!

Katie and Priya - taking one or two weekends out a term usually isn't a problem. You don't want to go home every weekend though, it would put a dent in your social life as well as your work.

katie you might be able to go visit friends after you've finished! we finish on the third of december- i'm planning on going to eeds on my way home for a day or so, got quite a few friends up there who i wanna see

ps. I've never been to the Uni's dental service, so I'm not sure what its like....

Another thing you might want to do if you've got time, is send in your computer connection request form....if ur taking a pc, so that you can connect it straight away.
