You know you wouldn't actually live in college as a post-grad, right? Hertford's Folly Bridge accomm. isn't much nearer to the centre of town than St Hilda's.
My school and uni buildings were absolutely horrible 70s concrete brutalo architecture. I think I have been traumatised and just long for beautiful old college grounds. I know, a bit over the top.
What uni did you go to? Anyway you can walk around all the other colleges free of charge as a student there, if sexy architecture is what gets you hard/wet. So don't worry.
I went to LSE and University of Münster (Germany). And yes, you're right about being fussy. I should be grateful for getting in. Colleges do not matter that much for postgrads anyway.

One other thing: at Oxford and Cambridge, there is a postive , strong correlation between the variables 'aesthetic beauty of college' and 'amount of loathsome cretins/awful private school undergraduates at said college.' Sad but true. So maybe you're blessed.
Just out of interest, is there no single college either at Oxford or Cambridge that doesn't house undergrad and grad students separately?
There are basically none at Cambridge. But why would you want to be with squealing brats anyway? It is one of the only correct calls that the college powers-that-be make.

I don't know actually but tbh I can't think of many unis in general that have postgrads living with undergrads. I'm in PG halls at the moment and there's not one single UG in our block!
I think I have irritated myself with all the anxiety... hate to ask this again but any postgrad economics aspirants heard yet??.... the silence might be telling

It's the weekend - there's nothing you can do until monday morning so just relax and stop checking your email every 5 seconds!

Well they are hardly mewling and puking infants at the age of 18 though, are they?!
No, it does actually make sense to separate them. Who knows what adverse effects the undergrads might have on the postgrads! (Or vice versa..)
I called the English office to give them a new address, and was told that I got an offer for the Mst in English (1780-1900) and am nominated for the Clarendon Scholarship (I am American). Apparently, they are sending out the letters tomorrow. I applied last year and was not offered a place at all, so I guess there is no predicting these things. Good luck to everyone!
Hey there. Also hailing from NY Quick q: You were told that you were nominated for the Clarendon? Are people normally told beforehand that they are nominated for the Clarendon before possibly receiving a confirmation letter?

At Selwyn (Cam) postgrads and undergrads are housed together in Cripps Court. There are two 'staircases' for grads, but undergrads are still in the same building, walking round, breathing the same air etc. I'm not sure that some of the college houses aren't 'mixed' as well. Am I the only person that finds it faintly amusing that 22-25 year olds find it so unbearable to live with 18-21 year olds? I lived in Halls for all three years of my PhD, aged 38-41, did I miss a trick, should I have asked you be moved away from all you unbearable youngsters?
