Life in Cambridge...Where is the best hangout?

Is Emma bar going to be open after the end of term though? I don't know if ours is (and if it is, Clare cellars is easily the coolest college bar in town, so )

Last year I hung around for a few days, this year I'm probably going to hang around for a bit longer, but the bar was only open for the first day of interview people. Then it shut

I like the saffron brasserie which is on hills road (towards station) but it was quite dear, no been to the curry king though

Oh, and bun shop is on king street. King's parade is between trumpington street and trinity street, outside King's funnily enough

Xmas formal tomorrow, and it isn't even december yet, ffs.

A.

Are you doing the special Clare rowing training week thing? We were told all about that over post race chips yesterday! Hardcore Clare boaties!

WoW? Will be get to see some of the rowing? People always talk about it~

n if we can were is it gonna take place+ my question abt the college bar is the same-would it be open?

whatever you do, make sure you dont give any of your money to "Eat.". That place is terrible.....they over charge for everything (sneak in extra charges etc), their food isnt that great, and in some cases was stupidly salty! Their staff are rude and money grabbers and I just don't like them! I guess this comes from an experience i had 3 weeks ago with them, where I went in and bought some stuff and said "to take away" and then he starts getting out a tray and stuff (after he's busied himself with the till, charging me for stuff) and i say "no, i said take away please"....and he hesistates and goes "oh....right" and then puts it in a bag. Then he charges me...and i think "jeees that was expensive" and then he gives me my change and says "next customer" and I say "what about my reciept?"......he had ripped it off and srunched it up......and he goes "oh.....errr......hmmm" and hesistates to hand it over, I take a look and say "hold on, you charged me eating in cost!" and he's like "oh...right"

NO APOLOGY! He thought he could get away with getting more money off me! And the food really isnt that great. Boycott Eat I tell ya, goto Pret a Manger next door, they're so much nicer in there! And cheaper....and tastier (the hot chocolate didnt taste of WATER like Eat's)

The rowing will be on the Cam, but not the nice bit on the Backs, you have to go up to Jesus Green and past all the boathouses. A fair way, and it'll be cold, plus it'll only be college crews - the Blues don't train on the Cam. But if you're really keen to see it, there may well be some around, though don't get your hopes up too much!

Don't know about college bars, I think I'm going to come back up after this weekend, so I'd quite like to know too!

you guys get to stay in the Uni during the holidays? I thought they would get rid of everyone...

And the rowing team...who are the blues? Are they really good or something (soz i know nothing about it... )?

The Blues are the University mens' First boat, though at the moment there's 20 of them, trialling for the 16 places in the Blue Boat (that does the Boat Race) and Goldie, the 2nd boat. You could say they're a bit good. They don't train on the Cam though. All the rowers that will be out next week will mostly be college boats, though you may see the Lightweights (University men weighing under 72.5kg) out occasionally.

Some people get chucked out of their rooms straight away for the holidays, if they're being used for conferences or for interview candidates. Nobody's using my room though, so I could theoretically stay till Dec 19th, though I doubt I actually will. I'm just gonna hang around, do some work, spend more time with my friends etc.

alright, anyway I think we are gonna pop down there + watch, my friend is a big fan (although i'm not sure if it's the actual rowing or the boys )...she is pretty sure is gonna pull...god save me...

She won't be pulling when they're on the river, they most likely won't even be looking at her. She could try the clubs etc, but most people will have gone home. And frankly, the men ain't all that

I don't go to Cambridge university but I've lived in Cambridge for all of my life.. I'm now 18.

The best pub in Cambridge is The Graduate. Don't let anyone try and tell you otherwise. They are lying.

To eat, if I'm in a hurry, Pickwicks sandwich bar is seriously nice. And cheap. But if you want to sit down.. hmmm, La Margherita on Bridge Street.

No offence, but i've always had this image of pubs where its all tough n rough+filled with middle aged pedophile... is that true in this case?

Anyways are there any good clubs in Cambridge?
