Christ's College (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

You should be aware that in the extremely rare case of someone who opts not to complete in any way the application forms for student grants/loans, he or she becomes regarded as a fully self-funded student and be liable to pay the College Fees of £3,933 (otherwise paid fully for all students centrally), and the University Fees of £3,145 plus the estimated living costs of at least £4,625.

Do any of you guys thinkk you'd prefer to be at a different college? Or wish you'd applied elsewhere?

Hey...I'm thinking of applying to Christs for 2009 entry (Maths and Physics) and came across this on this page on the christs website:



What's up with that? My parents are paying for uni (and I'm v. grateful for that) so I don't need to apply for loans or grants, but apparantly we get 'fined' for that? Has this happened to anyone here who goes to Christs?

No it will be fine. You simply have to fill in the forms for your loan then ask not to take anything... because the gov't still pays some of your fees if you're a British National. However, if you don't complete any forms they won't know who you are and so won't give money to the college for you.

I'm in the same situation for you as far as a tuition loan (I still take a maintenanceone) but still fill in all the (online) forms

does christ college have bad housing?

oh dear god, you better hope Cambridge does not see you spelling see and are as c and r

Anyone here applying? I myself am applying for NatSci.

Interesting to see how many others are on here.

I'm applying for Maths here...

Any idea on what IB + STEP grades they normally ask for? I can't find any info on their website on IB's.

Christ's STEP grades have been known to go to SS, but I think their standard offer is 11
