aleathielI just saw Spiderman 2.
Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst are going in The Project, no doubt about it. Hell, I have to have women in there somewhere.
And what about Peter Parker/Harry Osborn? Is that not the ultimate angsty slash relationship?

How can they force you not to work? Sounds very peculiar to me. Here, Uni doesn't even monitor the free fast internet service. *loves being able to watch FF Viggo and Marton pics*

Does that mean that you live on campus?
Basically yes, although it doesn't actually work like that. I'm at Cambridge which runs differently to most other universities (I think the only collegiate universities are Oxford and Durham) in that you study within a collge which makes up part of the university. We're lectured to in our faculties, but tutor and director of studies are at the college. We live in college and some, if not all, social life is based around the collge. We have our own porters and nurses and so on. Have you ever seen Inspector Morse? That's at Oxford, but the university there runs in the same way.
For example: there are 150 first years at my college (they vary in size) whereas there are thousands of first years at the university. there are something like 400 first year historians, 10 of them at my college. The colleges aren't equal. Some are huge, some small, some old, some modern, and the have different stereotypes - the music college, the sporty college, the rich college and so on although they are pretty vague.
I guess it gives us some loyalty and sense of community. I know the names of all the people in my year and probably most of the undergraduates. In most universities you wouldn't have a hope in hell of that.
And obviously there are rivalries - particularly sporting rivalries.

Probably because I was 14 at the time. ;) Amazingly enough, I still can recall very clearly how it looks. Guess it means I really liked it, doesn't it?
Will you think I'm a horrible person if I drift off for a few seconds, pondering the slashy possibilities? ;P Alright, okay, I'm back. I think.
