As mentioned, I have been accepted to undertake a PGCE
course at The Faculty of Education in Cambridge. I also had to apply to a college and
naturally picked my old alma mater, Girton, four miles from the Faculty of Education.
However, I have discovered if I am lucky enough to get a
parking space at all, it will be my college which allocates it to me.
Jenny suggested that I might like to drive an hour and a quarter
through the rush hour to a hostel which Girton owns then cycle the remaining
two miles.
To which I reply, “What kind of friend are you, Jenny?”
Dan thought I might be able to drive from home to the next
town, park there, then take the (very) leisurely train ride to Cambridge, then
walk.
Dan, henceforth you are a stranger to me.
Instead, I Google Homerton College, well-known for its links
with the Faculty of Education. Although
I have arrived here with a specific query about car-parking, their website
convinces me that Homerton is where I should have applied to in the first
place. They are impressively geared-up
to support PGCE students.
Just how difficult is it going to be to swap colleges?

I believe Pascoe may have a bike you could borrow - far more exciting than the Park and Ride
ReplyDeleteIn my defence, I did say 'if the faculty is near the station', which it sort of is, and I have been to Cambridge on the train several times (having driven to the station). It seemed to take a long time even by car.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I can redeem myself by suggesting you barter your time for a parking space with one of the two sixth form colleges on Hills Road? You need to do teaching practice during the course anyway right?
