Gonville and Caius College (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

God, you're right that's a lovely scarf... Do you have an offer? I'm sitting on A*AA for Theology - not religious at all, but great subject. What's your subject?

Ya I have an offer for Economics My offer is A*AA, but I already have an A* in Maths so this year I only need AA this year. I can't wait for next year - Caius seems so nice!

No fair I thought they wanted the A* in UVI?

Well this is what I think - I called the college and they were a bit fuzzy on the details. Either way, even if I have to get A*AA this year, it isn't that bad tbh. What is UVI?

Hi, I've got an unconditional (post a-level) offer to read English at Caius from October One of my biggest concerns about starting uni is that eating disorders run in my family, and although I personally (unlike my sister) haven't been officially diagnosed, I am underweight and extrememly fussy about what I eat. This is exacerbated when I am in difficult, stressful situations, hence my concerns about going to Cambridge; I do not wish to become sick(er). I know that at Caius we are expected to eat in Hall several times a week and personal self-catering facilities are very limited, and this will definitely be something that I find difficult to cope with as I am used to cooking for myself every day. I have heard that the disabled rooms in the SHB have much better kitchen facilities, and I was wondering whether, although I am not physically disabled, I might be allowed to apply for one of these rooms as it may go along way to helping me to maintain my weight and would ease alot of the anxieties I have about being a student. Obviously with such an intense workload and so many extra-curricular activities, I don't want my food worries to be an added pressure that prevents me from making the most of my time at Cambridge. Opinions/advice? Thank you

They may wonder why you applied to the only college that still has such a high number of dining tickets if you already knew this. They may wonder if you just fancy a newer room. And they may not let you have a refund of the tickets so it may work out very expensive. Most people don't want to pay for tickets they don't use. So by all means email them and ask but don't hold your breath!

I was pooled to Caius...

They've disconnected the hobs in the disabled rooms, so the facilities you get there are no better than the communal kitchens.

Wow, really? Was this a fire safety issue or just another random decision? Caius college, you never fail to surprise me...

Hey all. To those holding offers for 2012 entry, or in fact anyone who could help me out here: what's the address to which we're supposed to post our form about fees?

the same one thats written on all the letters we got so far, like the offer letter. Did you check their website? if you are not sure, just call them

In hindsight, it would probably have been a good idea to look there.

The whole malarky with proving Im a UK applicant for college fees was all a bit silly imo, I had to apply to Student Finance and send their paperwork to Caius then decline the loan just to prove I live here!

Has anyone got any pictures of SHB rooms? I can't seem to find any (aside from a double room and a shot of a corner). Also, do SHB rooms get a shared kitchen area and if so, how many rooms is it shared between?
