Robinson College

I have never lived in such a diverse, open-minded, friendly place. Robinson people immediately made me feel welcome, and every single person I met, although all completely different from each other, seemed to share an enthusiasm at being in Cambridge. Zara

Robinson is a very special College. Our contemporary environment provides the perfect setting for learning and achieving. Our location is excellent, close to many University departments and only a short walk from the city centre. We aim to be the most welcoming and inclusive College in Cambridge.

• Robinson College is an intellectually stimulating environment to live in. There are students on almost all Cambridge courses, and we have all the resources you’ll need, plus fantastic facilities to make it easy for you to focus on your studies. In short, everything to help you pursue academic excellence.
• You will be welcomed by a community of scholars that is bright, diverse and down-to-earth. There are certain to be other students here who share your interests and enthusiasms, whatever they are.
• Our student rooms and other facilities are outstanding. Your room will be warm, comfortable and well-equipped (all have internet access), and your bathroom will be either en suite or shared with typically one or two other students. We guarantee you College-managed accommodation for the duration of your original course.
• Whether you eat in our informal cafeteria-style Garden Restaurant or at our optional twice-weekly formal dinners, our chefs’ aim is to provide you with the best College meals in Cambridge.
• The College is situated in beautiful tranquil gardens; an oasis of calm just a short distance from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The University Library is just across the road and the arts faculties, new West Cambridge science, veterinary medicine, mathematics and computer buildings are all close by.

Our key expectation is that you work hard to fulfil your academic potential.

If you have any questions, contact Amy Webber in the Admissions Office. Our open events in March, May, July and September are good times to visit us. It is also often possible for individuals and school groups to arrange a visit at other times.
