Corpus

And for those people that are doing college bar crawls you should know that corpus bar serves between 7-7.30 and 9-10.30 (11 at weekend). Try to remember or you'll end up getting in there find out and having to leave!

*doesn't even know where Corpus bar is *

Corpus kicked out a friend of ours for getting an ordinary in her first year exams. Mean bastards. We'd like to know if it crossed their minds that maybe her supervisors were just crap - a third or 2ii, as a friend said, comes from when you arse around. An ordinary suggests other factors contributing.

So Corpus is not popular amongst our group right now

Ah OK, if he's a scientist he must be OK

Will they take our friend back then?! Though actually I think she's getting on OK at Birmingham now *sigh*

Just wondered if the corpus freshers enjoyed the debauchery of the slack. Was awesome wasn't it (cept for jonny grays appalling DJing effort)

See i'd never heard of a fresher getting chucked for a ordinary grade. What was her name (if you don't mind me asking) and what did she do?
Infact I'll point out i have a friend who has had a 2.2, a didn't do his exams cos of stress, and a 3rd, and is still in corpus doing his 4th year engineering. They are quite reasonable at times

Dunno I was out dancesporting and I opened the door to the slack at about 10 and it was 200 degrees so I didn't go in. Looked packed tho.

J, we have no communal social areas- the postroom has taken over. Seriously, we have nowhere to go after 10.30 except room parties.

Which one- e&b or Physiology? I don't like either of them much, but I can't be bothered with Physics, to be frank. I have to choose soon..

O and madsci - what year was this girl? are you mean matriculated 2003? cos there is no record of a 'laura' engineer

yeah i do like the tv room altho the 1st years tend to crowd the edges a bit too afraid to go in the centre..!

actually im getting really down with the work. the work is probs not conceptually that tough its just the volume.the physio vs e&b debate is ruining my life, i cant think clear at all about it and im turning into a recluse. tonight i could have gone to 3/4 different things and refused it all to do maths. which i still havent finished.

i think i need to relax- any ideas in this place?

Hi - I'm Laura, I was a first year at Corpus last year. Whilst I appreciate your support/concern, I would appreciate it if this wasn't discussed on the web. I didn't want to have to intervene this little conversation, but once my name was mentioned, I felt I had to.

I appreciate the thought of a possible return, but the reasons of why I left stretch far beyond my exam results. The people who need to know why I was very unhappy there, know, and that is how I would like it to stay.

I'd be very grateful if you could take my feelings into consideration, and let this be the final post about it/me. I'm very happy where I am now, and would like to put last year behind me.

Thank you. Laura

Yeh i noticed that too. Quite a good looking bunch the freshers this year -noticed the line of blondes on the window seat.
Don't worry about work in the first few weeks. Its much more important to go out and meet people - its easy to turn your work around, its harder to get involved in college and social activities.
If you want to relax then the bar was always good. Or if you prefer the non-drinking activities then theres the gym and squash up at leckers. Its a nice run up there too.
