Hmm... I think I picked the wrong summer to spend at Oxford (last summer), there seems to be more going on Apolytoner-wise this year

JW: How is it? Cambridge
but Magdalene 
Nastiest college I've ever seen, the people are the snobbiest I have seen anywhere (and considering Oxford is usually more snobby than Cambridge IMHO, Magdalene is worse than the snobby oxford colleges).
Mac: 13 and 14 yr olds are going out to clubs. They don't just dress like it for fun. With drinking age at 18 here, and it being much more liberal than the US, many 13 and 14 year old girls that look a bit older can get in. Depends on which clubs you go to.
Have fun at the Zodiac. Nicest venue I've yet been to in Oxford (being the only one I've found anyone decent playing at).

Out of interest ... how do they pronounce "Magdalene" in Cambridge? Is it any different to the Oxford "Maudlin" pronunciation?Originally posted by Drogue

Nah, Magdalene is pronounced Mawdlin, so same or similar to the oxford one. And yeah, I am not too fond of Magdalene college either (though I am rowing in one of their crews for the summer). They are very up predominantly public school (they got done for not accepting state school people a year or two back), and throw **** parties
Now Clare or Selwyn...

Clare Cellars, the only place on Earth with a Streetfighter 1 arcade machine
And I almost applied to Selwyn, but then I saw the light that is Oxford

The show at The Zodiac was great!
5 bands, 3 of which rocked, and one that had a decent beat.
Acanite Thrill was great and I'd never heard of them before, Days of Grace was really good, but Atreyu stole the show.
My Uni isn't the only one at Oriel College either - Northern Illinois is here and Swandea College or something.I never know their names, But i smile just the same

Sorry, I was in Oxford on the Sunday but I never got the opportunity to get back in touch, especially with poly being so 'unreliable' at the moment...Speaking of Erith:
