Btw do Trinity students get college parents? When are they assigned? What do college parents do?

Yes. Usually they start signing volunteers up around now, depends on how organised the JCR lot are. It ranges from doing virtually nothing to full blown incestuous relationships! :p:

Maybe I should do this as a little Trinity diary for you guys? Anyone interested in my day-to-day life as a Trinity student?

ahh ok...would the academic contact mind if you were to asked the occasional study-work-how-can-I-answer-this-essay-i'm-so-stuck question? (only rarely). I'm a bit concerned about study skills etc...

Chips and Cheese! Chips and Cheese!

It's been a while since I had them. Terribly fattening though and not enough protein :p:

The Van had no cheese, so went to Death instead. Be warned, it's gross.

No longer posting in Cam forum since I feel the need to dissociate myself from certain small minded individuals on here.

So no more blog. Any Trinity questions however may be PM-ed to me. :smile:

oh no

. I was really looking forward to the Trinity blog.

Xyro - hehe, I did teach myself Economics, but its really not *that* hard, say compared to trying to teach yourself Physics :eek:

. As long as you can think fairly analytically, things go OK (she says). Lol and I'm not teaching myself F Maths, I'm just getting lessons over the summer - you should'nt giev me undue credit :biggrin:

For you guys it's changing. As the Wolfson building is out of use, you will be allocated to Angel Court or Blue Boar Coart. No choice of location either i'm afraid. You can only choose the rent band and after that, it's completely random.

COLLEGE STEREOTYPES
Trinity: For those of you who don’t know what “rah” means, here’s a brief
definition: Boys – chinos, brown loafers, salmon pink shirts and a 100% pure
wool sweater. That sort of quiffy “Prince William” haircut. Probably called “Will”,
“Dave”, or “Charlie”. Girls – Wafer thin, indescribably gorgeous (apart from one
niggling flaw that would ultimately put you off), wearing whatever’s in “Glamour”
or “Vice” or, like, whatever. “Daddy” is paying for university. Probably also a
member of “The Pitt Club”, an exclusive institution for which the membership
criteria is that your father has to earn above a certain amount of money a year,
or you have to be fit, or both. Well, Trinity is full of rahs. Anyone who isn’t a rah
is probably worrylingly, worrylingly clever, and so best avoided. And you’re
probably going to end up working for the ones that are both. So be nice to them.
FACT: The Trinity May Ball is widely regarded as one of the best parties on the
planet. They were going to have the Darkness playing at last year’s, until they
somehow managed to piss them off. Get a ticket.

:biggrin:

Found this in Sidney Sussex's Fresher's Guide.

please say the part of wafer thin girls is not true :wink:

Hang on, since when has Dave been a rah name, surely that's David.

I'm worried, I wear chinos all the time (normally with a hoody of some variety). Do I look like a rah when doing so? I don't have the salmon polo shirt or sweater, I just don't like jeans, yet it's always the chinos people focus on.
