Perhaps the complaints about late-night noise at an all-women Cambridge college related to the sound of papers rustling as undergraduates studied round-the-clock.
But when an email went out to students at Newnham College asking them to be “discreet in your activities” after dark, most understood it to refer to noise of a more amorous nature.
Yesterday, young women at the college, which was founded in 1871, admitted to having blushed as they read the message, which followed claims that Newnham had gained a reputation for being “slutty”.
Lizzy Cole, the college’s undergraduate president, sent the email to all 400 residents after the student union received 30 complaints about noise in the student halls.
“I’d just like to politely remind everyone that Newnham corridors funnel sound and walls are very thin in some buildings,” it read. “Therefore, please remember to be discrete (sic) in your activities, especially during late/early hours of the day.”
Some girls said they had been horrified to think that fellow students may have heard them with their boyfriends. One Newnham undergraduate, 20, said: “It’s just so embarrassing to think that people have been listening in. I was blushing when I got the email. You try to keep it down, but it’s easy to forget the walls are so thin if you get a bit carried away.
Has Cambridge really had a college since 1871? Now let me be the first to tell you, when your pissed at your roomate you go at it with your girlfriend/boyfriend. Its a way to say FU be jealous. When your being loud, you know your being loud and if people six doors down are complaining about you you know its a little bit excessive. If you want these sluts to quiet down allow boys into the school. Most of them haven't received it in a while so when they do they're going to go at it. Its human nature.
