    very fun college not too much pressure but still high performing academically, close to Sainsbury’s, no tourists, close to cindies

    Sporty, pretty, beautiful with solid accommodation. Well priced formals although other food isn't that good value. Has a reputation for being far out but that's because it's on the opposite side of town from most colleges but really is the same difference. Probably in the top 5 colleges for distance to Sainsbury's and easily walkable to all nightlife!

    its huge which is generally good but it can take a while to walk from one end to the other

    After first year, most accommodation is on houses which are not attached to the main college site which means a bit of a jaunt to the college lib if you need to print something out late at night.

    Not really off-site. Very variable as some are old but these are getting fewer through refurbishments.
  • 4
    The off-site rooms for undergraduates are external houses, all located just across the road from the main college site on Jesus Lane and Malcolm Street

    It’s a freshers ball. Food was amazing, loads of drinks (variety too) and fun events

    Typically the freshers' ball, a good time but not as refined as Trinity/John's

    Formal food is generally really good, there's always a vegetarian option and they cater for a really wide range of dietary requierments. They are also such good value for money and cheaper than a number of other colleges (£7.50 in 2018/19)
