What do you want to know about Cambridge?

Hey, do you've anything more to say on Queens'?

big fan. for a fairly large college people get super close but with (generally) less of the bitchiness/drama you'd expect. the people i've met have all been lovely, quite a lot of big personalities there. boys less sharky than @catz.

however- queens' ents are tragic as far as college partyin' goes*. overpriced with an atmosphere that's crushingly unattractive to non-q-students.

*i'm comparing to the excellent clare cellars, dubious yet oddly endearing churchill pav, quality deejayin' at emma ents and although i've not been, aggressively-pro-fancy-dress banter to be found at tit hall's 'viva'

My boyfriend is a fresher at Queens' Out of interest, what do you mean by "sharky"

Do you need to know how to sight read very well to be in the choir?

my knowledge extends solely to newnham, linguistics, general partying, banter, rowing, crude college reputations, nightclubs and other people's floors- can't help, but these two might have some connections with people who can-

shark:
A person, usually male, who is preoccupied with getting laid at whatever party he's at.
e.g. 'Jeremy's been flirting with like twenty girls tonight. What a shark! Too bad he's striking out.'

(Verb) To steal something in use by another when they aren't paying attention. Often used in reference to chairs, remotes and other objects/appliances such as women.

who's the boyfriend?

How come Kings is listed as definitely NOT being a party college. I thought they had an underground club, and on the open day everyone seemed pretty up for it.

Ha okay thanks.

Haha well, not sure if I should tell you, on the grounds that I may be incriminated :P He does history...but I don't think that narrows it down much :P

Also, you do linguistics, yes? My friend does linguistics at King's

Which college? Are you going for a choral scholarship?
Basically, the answer is yes - certainly you'll need to be a good sight-reader for a choral scholarship as a soprano/alto, though this'll depend a bit on the college you apply for. The standard of the applicants for choral scholarships is very, very good, with many having come from high quality school choirs and cathedral choirs. If you've had some singing lessons and have sung with a choir before it'll be worth a shot though. If you look on the choral scholarship website there are examples of the tests they give to applicants and the standard they're looking for.

If you've already got a place but no choral scholarship it will depend whether the choir has any places, the standard of the choir and how picky the choir director is.

i don't think i'm super familiar with any queens' historians... pm me a name though, i'm curious!

AAAAHHH if it's a fresher and not the chap who switched to AMES last term I'M ALSO FRIENDS WITH HIM!

Can someone please explain to me how terms and exams work? I understand there are terms, and then there are shorter periods called "full terms." Do we stay at Cambridge for just the full term, and if so, when are exams?

How vicious is the rivalry between colleges? I applied to St. John's without knowing about its "stuck-up" reputation and now that I've received an offer I'm a little concerned about this, as I'm not the sort of person to cope that well with slightly nasty banter.

Merci Beacoup

Also, im coming there for the SHadowing Scheme next month at Trin Hall.
Does 3 have good reception?
Sorreh for the random question xD
