Source: The Reporter Special Issue: Student Numbers 07-08 Trinity Hall Application Statistics See College applications and admissions statistics Trinity Hall Application Statistics per subject See Appplication Statistics 64% of Trinity Hall acceptances in 2007 and 50% in 2006 were from state school students (source). AccommodationThe College owns or administers over 500 rooms that are used to accommodate Junior Members. All Freshers and some of the third year live on the College’s Central Site; the great majority of the second year and some of the third year live on the Wychfield site, next to the College’s playing fields, in St Clement's Hostel, or in Bishop Bateman Court. During Lent Term undergraduates choose accommodation for the following year in a ballot run by the JCR. All 1st year rooms are on central site, all have basic things like sink, bed, desk, armchair, chair etc. The higher the price you pay:
But don't think that lowest band rooms are bad, mine is much bigger than I thought and rooms in highest category are absolutely massive As far as living facilities go, it can vary from staircase to staircase. Some have proper kitchens like you would have at home and corner baths whereas others don't. It depends which price bracket you apply for. Cooking facilities aren't really a big issue really though, as you can get meals in hall every meal time apart from Sunday lunchtime. Social SpacesChapelTrinity Hall has the smallest Chapel of all the Cambridge Colleges. The Chapel exists for every member of the Hall, and is available outside service times for private prayer and meditation any hour of the day or evening. Worship is broadly according to the liturgy of the Church of England, but all members of the Hall and their guests are welcome to attend any of the services, as indeed are outside visitors. Christians who would normally expect to receive communion in their own churches, whatever the denomination or tradition, are cordially invited to receive communion at the College Eucharists. It is not necessary to wear gowns in Chapel. There is a College Choir, who sing on Thursday and Sunday evenings during full term. We hope that, if you come, you will find a friendly welcome, good music, and stimulating preaching and teaching. Library and ComputingOne thing that really sets Trinity Hall apart is its splendid library. Designed to look like a ship, it hangs out over the Cam, with beautiful large windows around the front of it. It is called the Jerwood Library and was opened in 1999. It is fully airconditioned and so a comfortable place to study Room Internet Connections:
