I know one, she seems to work very hard.

They are fairly mysterious - so mysterious they dont have much of a stereotype, though the AMES faculty has got quite a bad reputation.


Why the bad rep?

I googled it now and really when you're at Cambridge no one gives a rat's ass about the prestige of the school you came from because no school is nearly as prestigious as Cambridge University.

I also wouldn't get too hung up on the prestige of any university...
Thank god Sherlock exists to take my mind off Thursday.

Deffo. I want a body piercing but I hate needles. Pretty sure I kicked the nurse when she gave me a vaccination. I was 3. Haha just so you don't think I'm violent.

In my defence she hurt me first! 😂


hahhaa to be fair I put off getting them pierced for a good couple of years before how much I wanted them outweighed my stupidly low tolerance for pain

These "stereotype descriptions" are making me cringe, anyone else feel the same? No??

how quickly you settle into a routine and forget you're "at cambridge"

most academics are very friendly.

tbh, not a lot surprised me

Well I don't like the word prestige either, it doesn't have much meaning. I'm not hung up on prestige all I'm saying is you can't brag about your "prestigious" school while at Cambridge.
