Celebrities Jessica Ennis heptathlete and Katie Derham broadcaster reveal all about their student days. Read and compare their student life. Talk about differences and similarities.
Katie Derham Broadcaster
Cambridge 1988 - 1991
Economics, 2.2
The most significant thing about freshers' week at Magdalene College in 1988 was the first year women were admitted to Magdalene College – it was the last of the colleges to go mixed. I had gone up a week early to do an audition, but it meant that for the first five days I was the only girl there. I had a regular stream of people knocking on the door announcing that they had "come to see the Magdalene girl"!
I didn't know that economics would be so maths-based – I was shocked at how many lecturers talked in graphs instead of sentences. But I did really enjoy my degree. I found the self-discipline challenging (you don't go to lectures … and then realize at exam time that they might have been quite useful) and the vast reading lists, but I quickly learned to just read the things I needed.
I didn't meet all my closest friends immediately. I threw myself into probably far too much, hence the 2.2. I got involved in committees and the Light Entertainment Society, and did college singing and loads of sport. I didn't shine at anything, but I had a go at everything.
Jessica Ennis Heptathlete
Sheffield, 2004 – 2007
Psychology, 2.2
I went to university in my home town so that I could continue my education without jeopardizing my training. Athletics was my main priority, but I think my coach was anxious, knowing what students can be like! But my parents were really happy I had found a way to combine both.
Although I was staying in Sheffield, I still wanted to leave home. I decided that living in halls would be too much of a distraction, so I lived in a house with two friends from athletics. I think I probably had a very different freshers' week from most people – I didn't spend the whole week going out and getting drunk because I still had to get up to go training. But I had enjoyed myself quite a lot during sixth form, so in a way I felt I had already done that. And even though I wasn't going out every night it was really easy to meet people on my course, which was great.
I was probably a lot more organized and disciplined about my timetable than the average student, but the worst bit for me was doing presentations. I get nervous when I compete, but standing in front of a room of people to deliver a speech was much more daunting.
I really enjoyed psychology and in an ideal world it would have been nice to have had more time to concentrate on my studies as I definitely had to make sacrifices, missing lectures and deadlines to compete. But it was really nice to do something different and not be focused on sport the whole time. And when I had exams, I could break it up by going training.
