"Parents" are second years that have agreed to get "married" (they allow both heterosexual and homosexual marriages but not inter-subject)

"Parents" are second years that have agreed to get "married" (they allow both heterosexual and homosexual marriages but not inter-subject) and accept, usually, 2 "children" (ie. first year's) whom they promise to help settle in, offer advice and generally be nice! When I arrived in Fresher's week my 'parents' helped unload the car and carry stuff to my room before they took me out to lunch Since then, my parents have unfortunately divorced (they were actually going out and split up...hence why they don't recommend people in relationships to get 'married' but rather friends) but my 'father' always chats to me and gave me some of his Further Maths notes when we started to cover topics that I hadn't seen before (I didn't do FM) and is generally very nice. Some college families have "family dinners" where the parents will cook for you or take you out to dinner! College Families play an important part and I even know who my grandfather, grandmother, uncle and cousins are (and of course my brother)! It all sounds very silly, but when you first arrive it's nice to have someone to pester to ask annoying questions like "how do I pay for my dinner with this card thingy?!". They also try and make sure that one of your parents does the same subject as you and similarly prefer it if your sibling does something different (my brother does the same as me...but that's cuz I was adopted after result day!). Needless to say, the process of marriage is important too and, our year in particular, quickly chose their partners (I was "informed" that I was married...still haven't received my ring though <hint hint>!!!). It was also great fun trying to set up arranged marriages for other people and walking up to someone and going "hey, will you marry ........?"! lol.

I think the best memory I have of my parents is when on the first day my college father walked up to my dad, shook his hand and said "Hi, I'm Chloé's father"....my dad looked incrediably confused!
