I have seen that there has been an Oxford Parents Group running for the best part of a year now and the content seems really useful for parents of existing and prospective students.
I have searched but cannot find a comparative thread for Cambridge.
Doones Do you know if a group already exists? If not could we use this to start such a group for Cambridge Parents?

I started off with only 2 parents and it's grown and grown. There are people commenting who have nothing to do with Oxford, but pop over for the chat.
CambridgeMama Scotney (who has had a son at both Oxford and Cambridge).
No need to ask to set it up, just relax and enjoy the chat!
And Doones may even like to comment himself.
I have also written some short pieces about formal hall, boat burning and the corpus tortoise race. I hear that the Cambridge graduation ceremony is very interesting, and different from the Oxford one. Would love to hear about it, and all other things Cambridge!!
Love and best wishes

Thanks Oxford Mum my daughter has just received an unconditional offer from Newnham College and I am sure there will be lots of questions that I have that other parents would also have. Seems a good place to keep them all together.

My daughter is thinking of getting her gown next month when she attends an offer holder day. Plan is to order from Ryderamies and collect in person on the day. Anyone know if this is the best place to get one from?

There's no rush. Many don't order it until they arrive, and many colleges sell off 2nd hand gowns too. (And buying one before achieving the offer might be a tad previous...

Hello All
My daughter has an offer for Vet Med at Clare - it's all very exciting. She is still making her final choices for UCAS but it is 90% Cambridge 10% Liverpool atm. She will go to the offer holders day in a couple of weeks which may answer any remaining questions.

Newnham is truly lovely and there are some beautiful rooms there. My son stayed there while attending a summer school for 3weeks.The rooms were huge one even had a small baby grand in it. Son's had a dining table, desk, 4 armchairs, a kind of dresser and free standing library shelves. Gardens are beautiful and the meadow. It is away from the tourist track but an easy walk to town. Lucky girl.
