Evening Rach.

My mum, being my mum, wanted to phone and check stuff with Cuths - I don't know exactly what... "mum stuff" probably. The lady on the phone said that the welcome pack should be with me either the end of this week or early next week. It's annoying not having it because I can't really start sorting myself out until I know whether I'm living in the Bailey or at Parson's Field, so I know how you feel. :smile:

Do Cuths people have to walk all the wayto Cuths to get their evening meals? In the snow and wet is that not a little inconvenient... espcially if you live miles out like in Teikyo building... as some Cuffers had to last year?

Yep, they sure do! :s:

Yikers. that has got to be a bummer? Why do ppl chose Cuths then? Is it because their prospectus is so misleading and doesnt actually explain the fact u may have to walk 15 minutes in the ice/rain/snow to get ur dinner?

Are you sure there isn't a second dining hall at Cuths? We once found a cuths dining card on this forum that had "bailey dining hall" written on it, so I'd assume there's another, but I'm probably wrong...

I was at Cuths for the first 3 weeks and then changed colleges. Didn't enjoy it there at all.

Haha! I found one which said "Bailey Dining Hall" on it too...had to figure out which college it was from so came on here and asked :rolleyes:

I assumed it just said that because that was the name of the dining hall? Not necessarily because they've got two? :confused:

But anyway, wherever they have to go....it's not dinner/tea I'd be worried about....it's having to trek there for BREAKFAST hahahahahaha :biggrin:

lack of college atmosphere, having to share with a guy in a nasty house on the bailey, just found it weird really, fragmented, without a real heart. my experiences after moving really vindicated my choice in my mind, it was much more what i had been expecting.

I put the Bailey down but doing engineering they said I'd likely be at Parson's field because it's where they 'stick all the scientists' :frown:

. It doesn't really bother me either way but as Adam said, it's a fair old trek for food. Although, Parson's Field does look a bit more halls-ey :confused:

. As long as I've got a bed and a desk though, I won't worry! :smile:

I doubt that they "stick all the scientists" anywhere, colleges like to mix up subjects in accommodation, so that you have a better chance of making friends outside your subject. Admittedly, most of my friends are scientists anyway, but perhaps it's just a way of thinking or something, common working habits etc.

I was really looking forward to going to durham until people started saying theyve had bad experiences of cuths :frown:

about accomodation...people used to have to live in houses randomly about the city, but the parsons field accomodation was built for first years this year...it looks really nice and isnt that far from the college. theyre also building more accomodation there which will be offered to final year students. some students will have to still live in the houses tho i think.... :rolleyes:

Woah, what's with the anti-Cuths vibe?! In all honesty I think if I wasn't at Grey then Cuth's would be my next choice.
I've never met anyone from Cuth's who doesn't love it there, they have a fantastic bar - the best in the uni in my opinion - and the atmosphere there is always great too. This might have something to do with Cuths students being among the drunkest in the uni from my experience but in general I've always found Cuths students to be extra friendly, even to a non-Bailey kid like me. :smile:

And the girls in the 03/04 intake were exceptionally attractive. :wink:

yeah, but the reason cuth's bar is good is that:

a) it is full of people from other colleges
b) it is quite large and they don't have a restrictive policy like some other bailey bars.

i'm sure the new accommodation will make a difference, but i found it miserable there - only lasted a couple of weeks.
