The Colleges

Once you've decided that we offer a course and the approach to study that you'd like to take, you need to consider College choice.

What is a College?

A College is where you live when studying at the University of Cambridge, but it is much more than a hall of residence; it's also where you'll do a lot of your studying and socialising. Colleges are also responsible for admitting students to Cambridge.

How much time you spend in your College is up to you. For some students, their College may simply be the place where they sleep and attend supervisions. For most, though, it is likely to provide experiences and friendships that will last a lifetime.

See Role of the Colleges for more information.
