Many Researchers on h2g2 are students at Universities around the world - or have been. The University Nexus aims to help Researchers find those who are or have been at their Universities, to compare notes, argue about what the best Halls of Residence are, talk about shared experiences when living out, or even to arrange to meet up for a few drinks. Researchers from all Universities around the world are of course welcome, and we aim to compile a definitive list, a list which is now becoming so definitive we're even including lecturers. As the Nexus grows, it will be split into multiple Entries of more manageable size, organised by country and, if necessary, region and even University. To have your name added to the list, please post in the latest "Add My Name" thread below with the following information: Researcher Number (yes, I know I can get that from the forum posts, but it does make it a lot easier this way), University, Country and time of graduation (if you haven't graduated yet, please say when you will graduate). If you wish, you can also say what degree you studied/are studying for, what Hall you were in, what societies you were a member of or on the committee for - anything relevant to University life. You can even tell us what grade you got if you want, although that's most certainly not compulsory - but if you have a First from Cambridge and you want to show it off, we certainly won't stop you. That's enough of that, on with the list!
