Wolfson College (Cambridge) Students and Applicants

this thread seems quite dead but worth a shot anyway - are there any 2019 offer holders for Wolfson out there?
Anybody have any info about Wolfson, I've heard mixed feedback about it, and would like to get some more insight...
... I heard its also not possible to change the college we have been placed in, or did I miss something?

No, it's not possible to change College.

Wolfson is a decent College. it's a little out of town, without shops or even a pub nearby, but it has its own community and it's not exactly a million miles out. It has a very international community, more than most colleges, and it works hard to support that diversity. The buildings might not be to everyone's taste, but the gardens and courts are lovely.

I know you are giving good advice, but just to point out to those who aren't familiar with 'Cambridge distances', according to Google Maps the nearest pub to Wolfson (The Red Bull) is 8 minutes walk away, and virtually next door is a Co-op! I've found it is 20-30 minutes away from departments/colleges in the city centre?
I know it is relatively far out compared to King's or not near any supermarket unlike Sidney Sussex, but for someone whose undergraduate university campus required a half an hour walk to get from one side to another, it seems perfectly reasonable, and even if not I guess I have to remind myself at least I'm not at Girton!
