Hatfield 2009!!

Is all this hatfield hate because they turned you down.

The famous Hatfield College went to Rome to see the Pope,
The famous Hatfield College went to Rome to see the Pope,
The famous Hatfield College went to Rome to see the Pope,
And this is what he said – ‘**** OFF!’

Who the **** are Hatfield College?
Who the **** are Hatfield College?
Who the **** are Hatfield College?
And this is what he said – ‘**** OFF!’

And jobo, me and you are gonna have words. *scowls* I knooow where you live. Not far from me I believe. Lock your doors.

Bring it

There does seem to be quite a high number of knobs in Hatfield, compared to other colleges.

.........?

Oh this annoys me...you get nobs EVERYWHERE. Why does hatfield get the name for it?! Gah.

because we have to have somewhere to hate

(I know plenty of lovely Hatfielders )

Because they earned it.

Am I one of them? *Sniff*

what makes you think you might be one of them?


you are increasingly becoming one

I'm hoping that 's a good thing....

Btw is soda bread sorta chewier than normal bread, and brownish? Cos I *think* I had it at the tutor meal tonight......it was nice

Sounds about right

and yes, 'tis a good thing.
(there is also a smilie in between, but it seems to have chosen to hide for some reason...)

You had a meal with your tutor and all you got was bread (albeit fancy bread)? Great, proper hard up students then, I'll fit right in down there. Reminds me of the drinking bender which only left me and the flatmates with enough cash for pasta and kitkats, it was a fun week.

Now, while we take a temporary intermission about witch accusations, a serious question. What's the accomodation like at Hatfield? Y'see, I've seen private rent in Durham goes down to about £200 a month, which is a good whack less for a room than I'm paying right now. However, Hatfield are looking for over £350 a month, which seems a bit mad. How much of the college is in accomodation on site? Y'see, to avoid the kitkat incident again, I might go for the cheaper alternative, preserve the beer money.

Now, where were we? Ah yes, witches. I think, if we get some large scales, and a duck, we can sort this out. If you've not seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I make no apologies, as it is you who should be ashamed.

Haha, no we had bread and soup as the starter, then chicken (with swirly potatoes, no less!), then profiteroles. And a free glass of wine each (although, I don't drink - but unbelievably generous, all the same!)

Hmm..well...are you starting Durham from 1st year? In which case, everyone (I think?) stays in college, which is about 1400 per term. Personally, I'd go for accommodation in college first year, cos you'll meet more people and that'll make breaking it into college (if you get what I mean?) much easier, definitely

The furthest away is probably about 2-3mins walk away from the main eating halls. It's not far, honest, like just over a small bridge (it's about as far as the DSU to hatfield)

I don't really see why I'm a witch..nothing in this thread can possibly have provoked that sort of comment.

Swirly potatoes? That is indeed witchcraft. None of my Asda Smartprice efforts have ever been that shape (although, they do have an odd tendancy to not look like potatoes either). By not drinking you don't understand my beer money dilemma. Gutted.

Wellll. Story is, it will be my first year at Durham and it is my first choice, however, I am a graduate who is off for a change of scenery, and Durham looked like a pleasant change from ye olde big city. (There is still some research funding issues to be ironed out, but I'm hoping that one goes without hiccups). As such, I'll be not that far off 23 when I arrive, so fitting in with the freshers is probably not all that high on my list anyway, and I didn't fancy Ustinov college much, the 100 or so grads attached to Hatfield looked like a decent compromise. I see Durham doesn't have a great deal of flats as such, so your accomodation could have you in with 5 other people, which sounds decent enough, and I've actually looked around the area of the History Dept, but I've no idea how close that is to the college itself. Anyway, the bigger issue is whether the college rooms are worth so much more than privately rented places- Im all for meeting new people, so I was considering the halls, but since theyre 50% more expensive, I'm not sure if its worth the extra outlay.

I have no idea where the witch thing came from either, but it seems like a decent bandwagon to jump on...
