Cambridge Chat (previously New Cambridge Students Entry 2004)

Wow, my Catz one arrived the day after results day!

Possibly not a good thing though because it caused me to get all excited still with several weeks to go. What's it now, four and a bit? yey!

32 days for me :'(

my rent's £61.80 a week.. i asked for a cheap room.. seems quite high to me?!

Willa, how can you not like shopping?!!

£61.80 is OK, it's about average. Probably not the cheapest room Pembroke do (although who knows? - as rent prices vary from college to college) but it's not bad as Cambridge rooms go. If you're only charged for the time you spend in college - which in most colleges is the case - then for the first year your termly rent should be quite reasonable as first years don't normally stay much longer than Full Term.

Willa, how can you not like shopping?!!

21 days and counting...

Simple.....I'm male

A more specific answer would be that I am very indecisive and usually have a very specific idea of what I'm after. I dont mind shopping for material items, where you dont have a near infinite choice.....but that stuff can be bought online, so I dont have to actually go into a shop. Thus the only thing which involves going in a shop is clothes shopping, of which I have quite a bit to do! And it's the type of shopping I hate most!

ah, but what you want to do is work out what sizess in which brands always fit you, and then buy them off ebay (you can get them brand new with tags..)... deliverd to your door.....no effort involved

definitely less than 32...my counter says: 30 Days, 10 Hours, 21 Mins and 56 Secs

which is 31 days including today

Just looked her up...

"In the 19th century it was very difficult for women to obtain a university education. In the early 1870s, two leaders of the feminist movement, Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon, began raising money to establish a women's college in Cambridge. Eventually they raised enough money to purchase Benslow, a house two miles outside the town. In 1873 Benslow House was opened as Girton College.

The two women held different views on women's education. Emily Davies believed that the students should concentrate on traditional subjects such as classics and mathematics whereas Barbara Bodichon wanted a more radical approach to the curriculum. The two women also disagreed on student discipline. Davies favoured a strict regime compared to Barbara's more liberal approach. Emily also insisted that the new college must be affiliated to the Church of England."

I'm glad I have a strong materialistic streak in me - my idealism is shouting at me to reject anything associated with such a person.

1) I hate feminism. It is akin to fascism. Equal rights - bouncy. Extra rights = fascist.

2) I object to religion. It is a cause of division and conflict across the world. Some mad Islamic extremists have just taken over 250 school children hostage and are threatening to blow them up in Russia. No religion = no desire to do crap like that. The Anglican Church Davies loved so much was also responsible for many, many deaths during the potato blight of the 1840's.

3) I do agree with her on her attitude to discipline and teaching the Classics, however. In a lot of ways I wish I had a pedagogus standing there to thump me everytime my laziness got the better of me! I also love most things Greek (sadly it's been ages since I did the language and have forgotten it ) - their drama, their philosophies, their science and everything else really!

Scary. I actually agree with you on all those points

<--- That you agree with me!

<--- That you think it's scary!

the British evil landgrabbing bastards

If I had such a counter, it'd upset me and fill me full of dread! RU 100% happy about going then Will?
