You're out on a crusade to annoy me you are

good plan

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"?

Oxbridge dating site

im sure you will meet some beautiful young cambridge lass (or lad!)

have you checked out the cambridge internet dating site? in dont remember where it is, but its hilarious

Geoff - I did get your PMs, but UK-L is currently timing out before I can reply to them so you'll have to wait for a response!

Lad, I'd say

just woken up to notice i have a lovely set of maths and electrical circuit work to get through from Girton. anyone else recieved prelim work yet (engineering)? for the most part it doesn't look too bad, just depends how long ago or how much mechanics you did.
although i was under the impession that i would recieve this work in a couple of months time when results come out??

caius lawyers do not need a bike in the first year. harvey court is about 5 mins or less from law faculty. (unless you're unlucky enough to get rose crescent or green street, in which case, sain's is just outside your door, but your faculty is across town... )

I (law) haven't received anything yet..but i suppose that's because you can't really set prelim work for law.

Maybe it means that they really want you...so they don't mind what grades you get...wouldn't that be great!

lol, it would be nice to nice to think that but they just gave me a standard offer of 3 A's (is that lowish relatively?? the only other person i know going to cam for engineering for offered AAAB).

You're at Caius right? one question....the balance of male:females...i've heard it's something like 60:40???? Is it really that noticeable when you're actually there??

G

erm... i don't think so... but that's personal opinion. you just hang out with friends, and do not go... "oh, there are 6 guys and 4 girls in the room! " although admittedly, my house next year has 11? 12? guys, and 1 lady of the house. i blame this squarely on the engineers (with whom the medics are bunking in the house in question) - there are no female engineers in our year.

to be honest, i think the sex ratio might be even more skewed than 60:40, but i'm not too sure, never bothered me.

the only time it has ANY effect at all is sometime in lent or early easter when all the guys (or girls) start proposing to people to get married for college families... then you get some people who end up either bachelors, or two-father families (though some people do not take part in the college parenting scheme and this helps balance the sex ratio somewhat...)

and if you're worried about finding a gf, newnham (i.e. girl central) is but 5 minutes away on foot... though a significant number of my college friends seem to be headed for new hall instead... absolutely no idea why...

'sides, law is quite a "balanced" subject, it's the compskis and engineers you have to watch out for... they don't see skirts much...

College parents who look after freshers. Should be a kinda fake marriage. Helenia seems to know a lot about it.
I think at Robinson it's aunts and uncles though.

Yeah that's it
