Ducks, a swimming pool and tennis courts in summer... Emma is beautiful, friendly and a fantastic place to live and study. Nicola

The reputation of Emmanuel as ‘the friendly College’ has continued to grow over the past decade. This reputation, like the College’s excellent record of academic achievement, is primarily due to our students. It is they who continue to excel in their exams, their sport and their music, while still finding time to enjoy an active and inclusive social life. The College provides the framework – excellent facilities for sport, computing and music, superb teachers, a library with one of the best reading rooms in Cambridge, a studentrun bar, etc – but the students do the rest.

Emmanuel is a community that lives by principles of tolerance, mutual support and collective responsibility. There is no place at Emmanuel for discrimination on the grounds of colour, race or creed, political or social background, gender or sexuality. Our site is not ideal for all forms of disability but we welcome early discussion with students with disabilities to see whether what we can offer is attractive to and workable for them.

Emmanuel is first and foremost an intellectual community, in which individuals can develop their full potential. It is also aesthetically pleasing: the spaciousness and quiet architectural beauty of the grounds and buildings, in the very centre of Cambridge, surprise everyone who enters. The Head Gardener believes that gardens are to be used, so the two ponds, with their ducks and moorhens, the tennis courts in summer, the swimming pool and the large grass area known as the Paddock, are there for all members of the College to enjoy. The grass in Front Court, however, is sacrosanct: only ducks and dons, and snowmen that appear mysteriously in the middle of the night, are allowed on it.
