I'm going to shamelessly crib from some emails home to give you the run-down on my first few days in Cambridge. The flights went really smoothly, and I met some fellow Americans (soon to be Cambridge grad students) on the bus. I got my ID card and another info packet at Trinity Hall (my college), and that was about all for the first day's productivity.
Day 2
I got into housing the second day, happy to be out of the hostel. Launcelot Fleming -- great name, no? -- is quite far (need a bike!) but a pleasant walk in terms of things to look at. I ran into my new friends from the bus several more times at orientation and finally went bedding shopping with one of them. I also stopped by the English department to find out when they are planning to orient us. Oh yeah, and it RAINED nearly all day -- the day before had just been cloudy but pleasant. It was nice and autumnal, but not great for schlepping in.
The room is basic and a little barren at the moment -- your typical dorm room. I also can't fully unpack because I don't have hangers. But it's roomy for one person and has its own sink. WC and shower are tiny closets, but the complex is beautiful.
