ALSO, anyone know when we get our '@cam' email addresses?
ALSSSOOO, now have to choose accommodation - dya think paying extra for an en suite is worth it? Personally, I think not....

You can actually get your email addresses a couple of days before you arrive but you can only get the password when you'r there.

Oh Fitz is only doing accommodation now? Christ's seems to have been super early with their accommodation stuff then :O

Well it depends on what you like - is space important to you? do you think sharing a bathroom would be okay for you? Etcetc.

If you're a girl and have to share a bathroom with 10 people and half of them guys, that might not be so pleasant, so... xD It all depends on you!

I know I know, I was just kidding :biggrin:

And I hope you have joined the facebook fresher's group.
Otherwise I might have to send someone to beat you with a stick.

Good :biggrin:

...

What did you choose for your accommodation? And if you guys get your freshers packs/letters from tutors, let me know please? I live in the middle east and post is SO slow.
(Actually, I might move this conversation to Christ's forum)

I chose an ensuite room in the second top band as my first choice accomodation. Will do, but I think we might be waiting a while yet so don't get your hopes up :wink:

I think it varies between Colleges. All I received from Pembroke was a letter from my DoS saying to read his book and write an essay on one of several titles he gave us. I'd imagine it'll be within the next week or so, although I don't know whether it'll be in the "welcome pack". (I've made this sound like going on holiday, which isn't a bad description - Cambridge is the happiest place on earth! :awesome:

)

Well done

. It's up to the college to send reading lists but here is mine if you want to get started early: http://www.homerton.cam.ac.uk/pdf/Law.pdf

Now, if you excuse me, I am going to get ridonkulously drunk.

I nearly applied there! Was a tough choice between King's and Churchill... I got 3 A*s for A-levels and a 2 in STEP II and an S in STEP III. Luckily I had a 12 offer not a 11. How about you?

I originally applied for Trinity :redface:

but i'm just so happy to be going to Cambridge I don't mind which college it is! I got S in STEP I and 1 in STEP II, and 3 A1's in Advanced Higher. That's a really good STEP offer, they must have really liked you at interview. My offer in STEP was what I got :tongue:

And well done in getting an S in STEP III!

I chose the second most expensive band for accomadation but I don't really mind what I get as long as I have an ensuite.

I'll let you know when we get our packs, I don't know how I'd cope if I had to wait several extra days for letters loool
