LMH anyone

Hello! I'm doing the same course as you at LMH starting this october. Was wondering, what are the rooms like for first years? Are they large and do they have en-suite? Also what is the food like on the whole? Cheers!

Food. The prospectus says that the food served in hall is considered to be some of the best served in uni. If that's true then I'm scared of what food is like at other colleges. Honestly, it's alright at times but not great. There's usually a decent selection, salads, hot meals, desserts etc. Not much really to comment on food tbh.

Looking forward to meeting you guys.

Rooms for first years can vary. I had a pretty large room on Toynbee ground floor (possibly the largest fresher room) but Toynbee ground floor is the central corridor past the bar and the jcr so everyone walked through it so we didn't build up much of community. I think deneke rooms are cool. They're reasonably smaller than most rooms in colleges but most freshers end up here so you'll have a lot of fun here. (The deneke roof space rooms are better furnished but smaller). Wolfson west rooms are reasonably average. Count yourself lucky lynda grier rooms are now being converted into the law library. Freshers will end probarbly end up in these buildings. Unfortunately most of the en-suite rooms are in the tower blocks which have already been taken by 2nd and 3rd years. To be honest, rooms for freshers won't be the best in college but from what I've seen, they're better than at other colleges.

Cool, thanks for that. Another question if thats ok.. how many (roughly) hours of lectures and tutorials do you have a week? And how many hours of your own study time are you expected to put in, say in a day?

Actually, I was a little surprised by the mandatory meeting with the dean/president/(I can't recall the specific title)...I'm used to that person giving a speech at the beginning of the year and then being basically invisible for the rest of the time. Other than that, I can't say that the schedule is all that different from the other orientation programs I've attended...as it happens, I'm going to be missing the international students' orientation since I'll still be working. I haven't heard anything from the politics department at all--honestly, nothing since my acceptance letter--and it may be that there's a good deal of departmental orientation. Apparently, I will be spending my first week just setting up a bank account!

its weirder than TSR...dont go in there...they are all evil! and dont start threads about religion, like i did...people are still touchy about it

There are so many threads in religion

my one was very offensive...still going i think It's called "God sucks"; typically controvertial, especially on account that there are many crank god believers out there, hehe.

Science rocks...NO SUCH THING AS GOD If i was around in the 15th C and said that publicly i'd probably be beheaded

phil

but isn't the second question kinda like asking how long is a piece of string? it depends on the work your doing and how you find it....

On a side note, I've been informed that I'm the only one doing maths and comp sci this year at LMH..

Not necessarily, someone I know at Cambridge said their tutor wanted them to put in at least 6 hours a day of private study in the library or whatever.

so your the girl that dk was talking about...he said you were a girl!

what is Jerico blocks? is it that new place? that place were building work was taking place in december?^o)...near the library?

Oh, just out of curiousity, does anyone who's been at LMH know AJ Lacert? Sort of a heavier American guy. I think he might be doing compsci or maths, but I really don't know. He should be in his third year.

I wouldn't assume anyone would, but it seems likely that someone in maths would know who he was at least.

Hey hey, it's crazy Dan!

Hows your summer been?

C

Erm, kinda freaked out by that. Especially when the word crazy is used. Can't believe how people can say use that with a straight face now. Don't suppose you wanna reveal who you are? Since it's impossible to tell by your profile.
In answer to your question. Summer is alright I supposed. In hong kong at the moment so kinda bored. Probarbly the reason why i'm on the TSR.

Ah don't worry, I'm pretty sure you know me. I'm an engineer in your year, and my initials are on my profile. You often used to wander past my room in Deneke with a box of Cheerios. I'm sure you can work it out from that!

Fair enough, I'm at home in the middle of nowhere and similarly bored!
