I just realised that there's probably an entire generation of first year undergraduates out there who think that they're the class of 2010, not the class of 2007.
You almost certainly are...:-) Cambridge and Oxford doing things differently would be, well, normal.
The norm here is that if you were, say, MIT '82, it would say you graduated from the Institute in 1982, so you probably matriculated in 1978, though MIT has many, many students on atypical schedules. Atypical, that is, compared to the vast majority of colleges and universities in the US -- indeed, people talk about "the typical four-year university."
When you're a freshman in 1982, you could think of it as "Class of 1986 (presumptive)."
