There's no snobbery – everyone's from different backgrounds with different interests but everyone's up for getting involved in lots of activities. You feel as though people don't judge you in any way. Jenny

Life

'Newnham encourages its students to be independent; I've become involved in activities outside College and have made friends all over the University and outside it.' Katie

'You can walk up to almost anyone and get a smile. What's not to love about being surrounded by smart, beautiful, talented, kind women, any of whom you can be good friends with?' Christine

Support

'It's a most beautiful, down-to-earth and supportive College – I've loved the first year.' Sophia

'Newnham is very good at looking after its students. You're not just a number at Newnham, you're actually a person.' Sameera

Accommodation

'Most people live in Newnham for all three years of their degree (though you can choose to 'live out' if you prefer) so there's a really good College atmosphere; and you get to know people in different years because the corridors are mixed year groups.' Marion

'We have a room ballot system that's organized so that it's fair for everyone. We all pay the same rate for Newnham rooms, and they tend to get better the longer you're here. You pick your own in the second and third years – this year I have a beautiful room with an original fireplace, two windows and a chaise longue, and it isn't even one of the top rooms!' Kirsty

'I was attracted to Newnham by the gardens, which have a lovely, country-house feel without being too formal (and you can walk on the grass!); and the location of the College, right next to the Sidgwick Site is just far enough out to avoid the tourists, but only a five minute walk into town.' KT

Facilities

'I really love Newnham's library: it's beautiful, really well-stocked (with over 90,000 books) and is a fantastic study space.' Agalya

'Newnham girls have the option to cook every meal, go to the Buttery for every meal, or to do a bit of both – it's up to us.' Kirsty

We offer a new cafeteria with a great range of foods, sofa area and wi-fi access; a performing arts building set up for music recitals, theatre productions and rehearsals; an art room and a dark room; and a gym, on–site sports field and tennis courts.

Newnham's alumnae network is very strong, and students are encouraged to make connections with 'Newnhamites' present, past and – eventually – future: whether for socialising or careers advice and work placements.
