Actually I'd forgotten - NIMR had to pay UCL £1500 a year for each of us PhD students, which really didn't go down well as not only did they do nothing for us (I wangled a discounted theatre ticket once, and an NUS card only in my first year. Nowt else), but the Medical Research Council and other bodies who paid our registration fees, bench fees and support costs, didn't pay it, so it came out of the institute funds.

I could rant even more on useless college tutors at undergrad - suffice it to say that when I went to my 10-year reunion at cambridge last year, and the Master mentioned that the current Senior Tutor was leaving, all the science students who'd had her as a tutor 10 years earlier cheered.
