Freshers' Q & A thread

ASDA? There's an ASDA?!! Why did no-one tell me this?!

Asda is a serious mission, it's where the Beehive Centre used to be, on Coldhams Lane, near the football stadium.

He he, from what I read in the Newnham freshers' pack, we get two mums!
I haven't had anything from them either so not to worry!
(How odd would it be if we ended up related in some way? Possible considering the similar subject areas...maybe! Actually, does it work like that or are your parents random subject people?)

Did you find the pack really quite cool & exciting? I sat in my PJs reading it all & filling all the forms in!

OOOH and speaking of free buses - the Citi 8 has disappeared with the timetable change! Anyone know if one of the other Citis is doing a free service for university members instead?

Don't worry - I'm a Newnhamite Mum and we're still expecting! We will write to you guys as soon as the college passes on your details. Hopefully one of your parents will be the same subject, although this isn't always possible dep on numbers. What subject are you? I'm Arch and Anth btw.

Wow!!! You could be my mum!! I'm arch & anth!!!

Gosh - I'm feeling a real rush of parental pride now! Many congrats on getting in - trust me, the hardest bit is out of the way :-) If you are my kid (lol) then you will be hearing from me soon and whether you are or not, feel free to bombard me with questions at any time! Also, could you let me know your real name so I know if it's you when the college sends me the details?!

I am Katherine Sian Johnson!!!

('Katie' is more likely to get a response, it's easy to forget I'm a Katherine when I'm not writing it down!) Am I allowed to know your name or would it be 'mum' only?!










(This is weird!)

Firstly congrats to you all on joining the greatest

I've just remembered the other thing I need to take. My hat stand. Do you think the college will mind me having one of these in my room?

what about a fridge? emma had them in the rooms we were in last yr but im going to st johns and i cant recall seeing any there.

Get a stella fridge. You can keep beer/white wine in it, and milk/sainsburies processed ham.

I used to get so f*cked off with the communal fridge. 3 fricking years, and 3 sets of morons who put opened milk in sideways.

HAT STAND?!

i think they only allow hat stands if you store and transport them in a mary poppins style bottomless carpetbag
