Hi!

http://www.pembrokejcr.com/ - The JCR website
http://www.pembrokemcr.com/Home/Home - The MCR website
http://www.answers.com/topic/pembroke-college-oxford - Little bit of background on the college and its famous alumni
http://www.talkrowing.co.uk/pcbc/ - The rowing club homepage, the college is quite big on rowing, and has loads of novice teams (four mens and four womens this year, I think.)
And these are some of the current TSR members
Shinyhappy (Me, Coralie)- Biological sciences- 2006-2009
Tom Holder (Tom) - PPE - 2004-7
Scatterbrain - Maths & Phil - 2005-9
Rachel-linguist- Combined languages degree 2006-2010(?)

There are a few more too, will add them as soon as I remember their usernames. There are also several people who've just got offers, so will give good advice about interviews, I'll track them down and put them on too.
Anyway, feel free to PM me if you have any questions, and the others are a friendly bunch.

I've put some better pictures up now - some of around college, the top half of one of the common rooms, a college kitchen, and some of the buildings. As soon as I find some decent pictures of rooms, that don't have lots of drunken/posing people on them, I shall put them up.
Now I've got the hang of putting photos up, here are a few more!
Thank you!! 
The room I stayed at during my interview was much nicer. Had large windows, high ceilings, ensuite bathroom and everything.
Does anyone know when you need to get the accommodation stuff sorted out btw?

Possibly the worst room in Oxford.
It does look a bit grotty. And you have to share. Hmm.

Right, hopefully this has worked!
A couple of you were asking about rooms at Pembroke, this is the picture of the one I stayed in during interview. It was supposed to be a shared room, so I'm afraid its not typical, but the others that I saw were in a similar style but scaled down for one person!

wow I can't beleive you have to share bedrooms at Oxford....that's horrible.

Clearly you haven't seen Jesus' Ship Street accomodation 
I don't see what's so wrong with it - you have room to work, you have room to sleep, and it's clean... problem?

Loool Ship Street's rooms are so tiny... but, well... cozy... i think... in their own way!
A bit claustrophobic maybe...*shrugs* I stayed in a room at New College during a shadowing course, and it was horrible. This one was heaps better. Again, it was a shared room (this was during term-time, so presumably no-one actually had to stay in it.) Oh and I didn't have to share during my time at interview - I don't know of anyone who was there at the same time as me who had to.
TBH, the photo doesn't really do the room justice, it was very big, had a large mirror, and a fitted double wardrobe. Beds weren't up to much though. Don't know what they actually do about bedclothes, but if I get in, I'm definately taking my own duvet and stuff!
I didn't mind the rooms, they certainly looked a hell of a lot better than accomodation at other unis I looked round!

A bit claustrophobic maybe...Hehe let me guess - you've only seen one?
There's massive variety and nobody's really quite sure why - I mean you get e.g. Room 11 is narrow enough that the gap between the desk and the bed is about the same width as the bed - i.e. the entire room is less than 4m across - probably closer to 4. On the other hand 18 is a good 4.5m across and probably double that in length
