Clarifications
Posted by Greg on October 7th, 2007 under Uncategorized |
Judging by some of your comments (thanks Donny and Saket!), I need to clear a few things up. First, I am a member of Trinity Hall, but I live on Trinity Hall’s alternate grounds. It is a little farther away from the main campus of the college, but that is okay for a graduate student. No grads in my college live at the main site, it is only for undergrads. The college is still my main social unit and location for delicious British fare.
Gown and formal dinner pictures are on their way, I just need to take some. Not to worry though, plenty of opportunities.
Cambridge University does not have a campus per se. The town existed first, then came the houses (now colleges), which banded together to form the University. As such, the oldest (and newer-richer) colleges have a place near to the town center. There are department buildings near the town center as well. The newest colleges and some non-central living sites (like where I live) are not particularly close to the town center. I definitely need a bike.
I am going to start including the weather in my posts, so you get an idea of what life is like here. Also, when I have visitors, I am going to invite them to write a guest post or two: mainly because I think you will get bored with my blathering quickly.
Also, please feel free to comment. I love to read you ideas and questions. And always feel free to email me.
