Being There
The hectic and confusing introduction to student life at Cambridge. These fresh-faced 18-year-olds rapidly find new friends, and face the rigours of the bicycle auction, the Freshers Dinner, the Tory Reform Group squash, and try their hands at everything - from being a stand-up comic to a fledgling surgeon. They are following in a distinguished tradition.
These are the first footsteps of the next generation of Cambridge alumni. And for some there are profound changes: a medical student learns his subject the hard way, and becomes ill with an unknown virus; and a mathematician sees the light after a religious experience.
