Congratulations to all those A-level students who are now proud freshers at the two top educational institutions in the country!
However, what upcoming freshers may not realise is that the best thing (honest!) about getting into Oxford or Cambridge is not the quality of teaching, the college lifestyle, the glamorous balls or the job prospects. It is the fact that you are able to participate in the biggest, oldest and most famous student ski- and snowboard-trip in the world! For as little as £299 you can join 2,499 other students for an unforgettable week, this year in Val Thorens, France. With amazing skiing, massive parties, groundbreaking events, competitions for all, new friends, old rivalries and so much more, it really is the only way to end your first term at Oxbridge.

Thank you to all the entries to our Summer photo competition so far, but if you haven't yet entered it's not too late! Send a photo of you wearing your new Varsity Trip t-shirt in an exciting location to summer@varsitytrip.com. We've got a couple of pairs of tickets to the Freeze Festival up for grabs.

Whilst the lifts may have grounded to a halt in Val Thorens, the organisation for Varsity Trip twentyten continues apace. This week two of the committee have been out in resort laying the groundwork for this December's event. Working closely with the resort authorities, we've been putting everything in place to ensure that this year's schedule, featuring events never-before-seen in the Alps, will blow you away. Booking opens 5th October.

The Varsity Trip twentyten committee are pleased to announce our army of college reps has been selected. After an unprecedented number of applications this year the selection process was very tough.
Your college rep should be your first port of call for any questions you have about the trip. They will be able to answer basic queries you might have about the trip and will forward on anything they are unable to answer to the committee. To find out who your rep for this year is head over to the reps page to view the complete list.

There is less than a week left until the deadline for College reps applications. The Varsity Trip committee are still looking for reps from all colleges.
I was a rep myself last year and it was great fun. It doesn't take up too much time and you are well rewarded for the effort you put in. This year rewards will be better than ever. The best rep from each university gets a free trip and every rep can win performance related prizes including free final party tickets. Reps will of course also receive exclusive free stash.
For more information head over to the reps page now!

Varsity Trip continues to smash expectations. Last year our summer t-shirts went in 12 days – this year it took just 36 hours!
But don't fret! Keep checking back over the Summer as we put lots more exciting content onto our launch site. Don't forget to apply to be a college rep either, applications close Friday 28th May.
And if you were lucky enough to get some free stash it'll be coming to your pigeonhole towards the end of term. Don't forget to take it on holiday with you and send us your snaps of you wearing the t-shirt overseas – the best picture wins a prize!
