Homerton College, opinions?
So, I've just found out that my open applciation was allocated to Homerton College. What do you think about it? Is it really focused in education and sports?

Homerton is a bit of a long way out (down Addies way) but its buildings are very pretty 
and it's building up a rep; it only recently became fully affiliated to the university (before, it was a specialist teacher-training college) so some people may be a bit rude about it - some people are like that - but the people I know there seem very happy and successful

It sounds like Homer, who is amazing. So on that firm scientific grounding, I declare it a great college.

Why not both?
i am there!!! my open application was also allocated to Homerton College last year.

I think it's a great college, lots of things to do, including sport. it is quite far out so a bike would be good. About half the people here are studying education w/chosen subject.

Yeah. I could try and pretend I was clever and actually knew about the philosopher guy who wrote Odyssey, but ill just admit that I meant Homer Simpson...

Yeah well I knew you did
I don't know much about the other Homer either. In fact, I know nothing. Who cares about him? Let's have more Homer Simpson!

People interested in culture?
Well...yes. But don't burst my bubble.
You can always been interested in culture and still not really care much about Homer.
although it is argued that though we think of there being the homer (the greek one no american one) some scholars believe some of his works may have been by another person, also called homer...you can see where the confusion arises..

Never mind Homer. What about 'ton'?!
how old fashioned of you we use "tonnes" these days.

I know quite a few (at least 4 people) who got high Firsts for their subjects (NOT EDUCATION) this year at Homerton. One girl came Top 3 in the faculty (Natsci). So academically I don't think Homerton loses, as long as you want to do well, the college will provide you with everything you will need from free books to extra supervisions. You just have to write an email to your Director of Studies.
The atmosphere in Homerton is quite special. Tripos students tend to keep away from the education students and vice versa. We are very different types of people and the College knows this so even accomodation is arranged with this in mind.
I hope this helps. Afterall, it's the academic side of you that's more important, and in Cambridge it's a lot to do with self-learning and self-education.
