h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm not a student/alumna but could supply information, as I work there in an administrative capacity - well, OK, in the Admissions Office!

But it would probably be better to get the alt prospectus description from a student perspective ...

Thanks Annie!

I think the student perspective is helpful, but it would be fantastic to have 'insider information' from the admissions office!

Here's some info to help you get going:

Founded in 1871 by Henry Sidgwick - the second (after Girton) Cambridge college to admit women.

College website: http://www.newn.cam.ac.uk/

Very impressive famous alumni: Eleanor Bron, Emma Thompson, AS Byatt, Margaret Drabble, Germaine Greer, Sylvia Plath, Diane Abbott.

Thanks for the encouraging message Natalie - well, OK, I'll have a go! Probably not this weekend though, as I'm working tomorrow (Maths Open Day).

Fab - thanks Annie! And good luck with the open day!

OK - done it!

Hope there are some Newnhamites round here who might comment/add to the entry, which is at: A11694260
