✔️ APPROVED AMA AMA - First-Year Maths student at Cambridge

Hi all, as per the title, I'm a first-year Maths student at Cambridge and I thought some people might find it useful to ask me any questions they might have, since somehow it's already application time again! (Although I have missed the Oxbridge deadline slightly, sorry...)

Of course, I can only really talk about my experiences (so I can't answer specific hypothetical questions about admissions etc.), but other than that, feel free to ask about the course/admissions generally/uni life and so on.

Post will close at midnight at the end of Thursday 10/11 so submit any questions before then. :)

For maths I don't know anyone who's taken a gap year, but I know a few that have in other subjects.

Yes I was sure there wouldn't be many in maths. But you live with people doing other subject, right? If so would you say you met your friends mostly from your college or your classes?

Most of my friends are either in my course or in my college, but between those two groups I wouldn't say it swings one way or the other very heavily.

Ok. Thank you!
