Doesn't it depend on the college? I'm pretty sure most, if not all, do. Some expect you to provide your own duvets and stuff though.

Not for interview though surely?

You get used to the Wolfson after a while (the corridors are a bit dingy but the rooms are big and ok if you spruce them up a bit). Which room were you staying in?

LOL, true. The worst they could do is not offer you a room at all.

Isn't it being done up soon? Well, in the next couple of years?

I think it was 10a or 11a... it was the first one on its side if you see what I mean. It just felt bare... but it wasn't too small so with a bit of work I think it'd have been ok.

Apparently so. I was speaking to a second year medic from Trin and he said it was being re-done soon. He said it would mean that if I got a place I would probably be able to dodge Wolfson building. I think he said we'd go in Blue Boar Court... :confused:

To be honest I don't mind if I have to sleep in the porter's lodge I just really want a place! :frown:

I heard a rumour that they were closing it off next year and the freshers get second year's accomodation whilst the second years get shipped off to "temporary housing". Don't know how true that is yet though.

Yeah that's true!

I was told by someone who seemed to be in the know anyway. :redface:

He said that Freshers would get a really good deal and the 2nd years future was not so hot. I had forgotten the ins and outs of the plan though.

I've heard that King's pillows lean slightly to the left....







Oh dear... :redface:
I had like..the BEST night's sleep at girton.

It was ubercomfy and warm. Which was unexpected for an old building with no double glazing.
