Economics colleges

Hey guys i was just wanting to know which college is best for economics, Jesus, Clare or Sidney Sussex. Also could anyone give me any information about them such as student type/sports/college life. Also does anyone know the specifics of entry, for eg does every1 have to take the TSA? Cheers for any help. P.S. would the tutors look down on me if i was applying whilst taking my gap year and does it matter if i am doing nothing economics-related during my gap year.

from friends:

Sidney Likes state school people
Clare and Jesus seem indifferent.
Jesus (I have researched this) has the biggest eco department and biggest eco intake out of all the ones you specified. I have been to the open day at Both Clare and Jesus, and clare only take like 3-5 economists a year, while jesus take 8-10
But as afore mentioned, Trinity is apparently the best.

But "the best" means very little. It also means that obsessive compulsive people who spend their lives basing their college decisions on all the internet information they can get, will end up there, and not everyone wants to be like that!

For the gazillionth time, choose a college you like, not the one that's "best" for your subject

I'd choose Clare :smile:

Trinity takes 14-16 economists a year and does not require written work or the TSA. Also its amazing...PM me if you have any questions

Clare is the best in your list. It's very pretty, in my view, has the most beautiful bridge in Cambridge. It also has a very good location--three minites walk to Economics department.

Sidney is opposite Sainsbury....
