°ÄÃÅÃÍ»¢±¨

°ÄÃÅÃÍ»¢±¨ has all the benefits of being large, historical and prestigious college, whilst also retaining fantastic welfare: the staff and other students all care about each other, and will be there to cheer you on when you are thriving, but also there to support you if you need any help. I chose Jesus due to several reasons, including its prime location, where it is very central, and easy to access everywhere, even if you work in one of the institutes further out. I also selected Jesus for its MCR...

°ÄÃÅÃÍ»¢±¨ has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose °ÄÃÅÃÍ»¢±¨ for a number of reasons – first, the location.

The MCR does a great job in welcoming new...

When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to °ÄÃÅÃÍ»¢±¨ because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I’m doing my PhD here, I’m very glad I did choose a college with a large postgraduate community. Throughout the year there are lots of postgraduate events, including formal dinners, special formals at Christmas and Easter, bops in the bar and film nights in...
