How sweet! Funny how Darwin does hold so many memories for Patrick and
me, yet we didn't name our first born "Enora Darwin Welfringer" ;-)
But in the end, Bob Eager was right in his welcome speech to say that
many of us would find a husband/wife in their college during their first year
(we thought it sounded so cheesy :-)

Funny,
my first born child was named after Eliot college as it held some
many
memories for both my wife and me....

Only Keynes had a burger bar though....

Eliot seemed to be famous for false fire alarms and a 'smokey'

I'd agree though - other than for organising accommodation I
can't say
there was a huge tie to your individual college - even the
accommodation
was not enforce - my wife was also a member of Eliot
college but lived
in Rutherford.

Oxford is overhauling its admission system which will
result in central
applications and "The university admitted that as a
result, colleges
will lose autonomy and
individuality."

I
have to admit that in my time at Kent (1998-2002) I did not
especially
feel the college system - other than the location of some
accomodation
(which was not used by all and in any case I understand this
has since
been
decoupled) and having to vote in your college for SU
elections (though
this was increasingly abandoned by my last year) I
could have gone
through my entire university career and never once have
it matter just
which college I was in. (Okay there were some other things
but not all
followed them.)
Was it different in earlier
years?
Tim.
