    Has a river nearby!!!!!!!!!!! It's got to be the best.
    So does, Queens', Kings, Clare, Trinity, Johns and Magd. Jesus has a moat.

    Never been in Peterhouse, seems like it ought to be part on the river but don't know for sure.

    I think it doesn't, actually - or at least, you have to climb over the back wall and fall in rather than it having its own "Backs" like the superior colleges

    Clare has the best bridge

    Do you have an offer at Trinity Hall or are you a student there already?

    orgasm bridge is better. It's a better place to spit on punting tourists.

    Trinity, without a doubt. That's why I applied there, and even Oxonians I know agree with me on this point

    Apparently it's on number of UKL people who have offers for there. Because they all know soooooo much about their colleges That's why King's is there and Clare isn't, despite the fact we're bigger (and cooler and generally infinitely better :p: )

    JaF - orgasm bridge is Garrett Hostel Bridge, behind Tit Hall. I have NO idea why it has that name, it just does. I don't like it cos it's so hard to cycle over.

    It has that name because it's one of the steeper points in cambridge and thus when cyclists go over they sometimes sound like they're having an orgasm.

    Well according to this years prospectus we outnumber kings in undergraduates by a whole 3 people! But they must have a lot more grads hidden somewhere because they seem to have considerably more junior members overall.

    Wow, you learn something new everyday (sometimes it's even compsci).

    *Note to self* never make any sort of sound when cycling over Garrett Hostel Bridge :eek:

    Usually though, it's more of a "watch out!!!" as I come screaming down the other side uncontrollably into a bunch of tourists who've sensiblly decided to walk right across the path :rolleyes:

    Around the back of Jesus between it and Jesus green is a canal/glorified ditch that would be much nicer to Jesus to call a moat

    It's normally covered with lots of leaves etc and looks more skank than the cam.
