Cambridge 2011 Freshers Chat Thread

Which option would you say is better? Writing to her now or speaking to her during our scheduled meeting on the 3rd of October?

Do they generally tend to be understanding and helpful in such cases? I am slightly afraid of her reaction...

How do you think I should formulate an e-mail to my Director of Studies concerning my desire to change subject from Linguistics to Modern Languages? Should I give her a carefully composed list of reasons as though I were writing a para-PS for the new subject or do you think I should simply formulate a succinct question about the possibility of making such a change?

Anyone know if we're getting anybody famous for Freshers Week? Queens Belfast have the Hoff ! :L

Has anyone else not heard from their college parents yet? I'm feeling left out

I am still an orphan But our freshers reps said that we would hear from our parents early this week so hopefully we should find out in the next couple of days or so

Still orphaned and homeless here

have you still not got accommodation?

Still orphaned and homeless here

Spoke too soon. Accomodation letter just arrived

Oh no Have you still not been told about accommodation? What college are you applying to?

When are you going up?

October 1st

When do you start at Kings? Looking forward to starting maths again?

Since rooms in Catz don't have insurance, would you say that it's worth getting insurance? It's just that I've kinda ended up buying insurance from Endsleigh before even getting to Cam and I'm wondering if I should cancel it...

I dunno - I'm covered by my parents' home insurance (I think) provided that my room's locked and it's during term time when the room's occupied. I guess that might be the first thing to check to make sure you're not paying for the same thing twice.

Start lectures on the 26th September, actually looking forward to that maths (although slightly scared if anything )
