HIS EMAIL WARNING

Hi people... There are things that need to be said, and these first few weeks of your Cambridge experience are quite critical in the way your path forms. Remember you are NOT at any other uni, where students do drink a lot and do have what they regard as ‘a good time’ – and you are NOT on a course, as some Cambridge courses sadly are, where such a behaviour pattern is possible or acceptable. Physical Sciences is a VERY hard subject, which will require ALL of your attention and your FULL brain capacity (and for a large fraction of you, even that will not be quite enough). Don’t be fooled by a number of people you see partying around: be sure, none of them are Physical Scientists – not in the years above you, that is. I wish all of you started from the right end: do well at your job, learn to enjoy it – and then see if you have any desire to drink an extra bottle, or play a ‘penny game’.
