You woud struggle to sit on your own being a natsci! The second years who got a first this year will also be attending matric... the largest number of theses would be the mathmos who had 7/9 second years with a first this year!

Its not just second years... third years with a first will also be there. I you get a first at Cambridge in your first or second year then you become a scholar/exhibitioner - basically you get some money from college and get to go to matric.

At some colleges they have something called a scholars ballot where you get given the opportunity for a better room if you achieve the highest grades.

Another day, another absurd question; am I right in thinking that we have our matriculation as soon as we arrive, and that it's not a big formal thing? And that therefore I can matriculate whilst dressed like a tramp?
