Point taken
but I'm sure I'm not the only one bringing a car - share trips with one of your feminist lesbian men-hating college mates!Sorry, that was uncalled for - but everyone goes on about how far Girton is away and how stupid we all are!
I think it's a Lord of the Flies situation! Maybe the college idea is a bad one!

And every college suffers from stereotypes too. Nothing you can do about it.

Girton is a long way away from most of Cambridge...some people like that though. Homerton's a trek too.

I think it's a bit silly to paint any of the colleges out as "stupid" though. It's still Cambridge, after all...
I was my first choice, but had I have been pooled... [stops dead in his tracks]
No... None of us are "stupid" in relation to the country as a whole!

I actually asked my general interviewer why there were so many red and black bricks around, and he told me it was an architectural thing (no **** Sherlock).

But anyway, who did you hear saying Girton was stupid? It's silly to have an opinion about a place you know nothing about, especially since these people who make fun of the distance to Girton have probably never been there.

Do you know how much truth there is in the 'rugby lads culture' stereotype at St. Johns?

and even if this wasn't true (i'm 90% sure it is...), parking is going to be your worst nightmare ever - sometimes you walk around cambridge and it seems as if the nearest car park is somewhere next to Girton
( ) , which kind of defeats the purpose. point is, in the centre of cambridge, where the overwhelming majority of undergraduate life is spent, the difference between having and not having a car is negligible. also, there are all sorts of traffic restrictions which make navigation a nightmare, since routes change according to which roads are open at which times of the day. a bike, on the other hand...

I have no idea...I'm sure there are some hard-drinking macho knobs, but I know some very nice people who've gone there.

on the other hand, the differences between cambridge colleges are small and subtle, and the only reason all the cam people are able to pick out these things is because we are actually living in the town and experiencing the life on a daily basis - under such circumstances, that extra 200 metres to walk to a lecture theatre seems so disproportionately significant...
all in all, we are a lot more similar than we are different, and outsiders will see all 31 colleges as being almost identical, against all strenuous objections by students. (the horror of being accused of being a johnian...
too bad steve is down under and not here to defend his dignity...)

Hmm...I thought i would take my bike, just because bike+basket is easier to take shopping home from ASDA the other side of town...

If i had a bike (and a basket) I would probably bring them, but since I don't, i think it makes more sense for me to wait & see if I do need one or not.
Is anyone else on here leaving a boyfriend or girlfriend "back home"?

Evening crana
If I get in I certainly will be
He's wanting to go to Aberdeen uni. Although he says he might just apply to Cambridge
. His bro lives in Cam so I'm sure he could come visit (desperately trying to persuade herself that this is the case)
