as far as I remember (I don't know if you know this, so thought I'd say so) the old court staircase you're talking about doesn't have a proper shower, just a bath, so if that matters to you I'd go with the hostel.

Yep, you're thinking of the right staircase, thanks! :yep:

As it happens I prefer baths, so this is a plus.

Is 'drinking coffee' an acceptable extra curricular activity for CVs?

I wish it did. The summer school I'm going on has terrible coffee, so I'm bringing my own and a cafetiere. :p:

Good-o

and I finished off the batch I made yesterday so I'm making some more later :grin:

It's like a soft zip up case for the laptop (my Papie was not impressed that my Mamar let me buy it, he thinks my laptop might not fit, I think he's being silly!)

Did you go for it in the end?

Definitely. Otherwise I wouldn't have cake as breakfast so often.

Can't you just keep the receipt?

[INDENT]Flip a coin, heads Old Court, tails a hostel. If you don't like the one you get, you know to choose the other :p:

I was grumpy to come home and find that they were making a noise on the Piece again. I love how they only do it when I'm in Cambridge despite me being away alot of the time. However I was much more good humoured about it when I realised it was cricket :biggrin:

The sound of commentators and people playing is far far far less aggravating than severely retarded music blaring out of stupidly loud speakers. In the case of cricket I can at least empathise with the appeal!

And I won't be out of the house myself till round then. My ballot slot ends at 1 and I'm in my pyjamas drinking coffee and having a ginormous inner battle :o:

While I'm at it... how much do people pay for their rooms on here?
I was in a room for £580 a term in first year. But it was a basement so subsidized. Last year I took an attic room for £802. It was impossible to stand straight in alot of it, so they made it that cheap despite having large floor space.
The Old Court room is £808 but it will have smaller space than my attic room because its just a regular non-subsidised room.
The hostel room is £960 which is certainly more expensive than I would have been willing to pay last year. Its just that it being my last year is making me more sentimental. In fact there were hostel rooms available for me to choose this time last year, but I opted out on price grounds.

I can't believe how much inflation is here. My room from last year costs £835 this year. And my first year basement room now costs £625!

My first year room was 950 a term for 3 x 9 and a bit week leases, my room this year will be 896 a term for a 9 month lease.
