College (+reasons): Corpus Christi! I shortlisted some colleges & Corpus stood out. I went to a summer school at Cambridge & decided to try and look at some that I'd shortlisted, when I walked into Corpus I felt so welcome and got the feeling of home, I can see myself being so happy there!
Why English in Cam, not Oxford?: For me it's always been Cambridge over Oxford, but when I looked at the english courses, Cambridge stood out massively for its roots in history. Plus, Cambridge itself seems a lot more of a unified community despite the college's? Oxford seems to have a lot more rivalry and so Cambridge just seems cosier.
How's Elat: I enjoyed it a lot! The theme of clothes shocked me at first, but when I read through the extracts it was nice to see many familiar writers. ELAT practice has also given me new skills in writing, so even if it doesn't go to plan I've definitely gained stuff!
