    A beautiful, small and welcoming college. Excellent sports facilities at Leckhampton and a brilliant college community.

    Postgraduates of Corpus all live about Leckhampton House, a late-Victorian house surrounded by beautiful gardens and provided with all comforts and facilities, including a dining hall, a gym, bar ("LeckBar"), a library and a swimming pool.

    Lots of high-ceilinged rooms in New Court, usually for 1st years. 3rd years have the opportunity to live in the oldest court in Cambridge (completed in 1377), so much more character.
