I've applied for Natural Sciences (biological), I mainly chose Peterhouse after visiting for an essay prize, really nice atmosphere and I like the idea of a small college :smile: How about you?

good luck! i too visited a couple of months ago and thought it looked pretty and i like the location of it. i am hoping the small size means everyone there is really close like a family haha

It's one of the only two I visited at open day, it's small, and the building isn't too imposing or brutal.

Why does Peterhouse not accept applicants from so many different courses? 😭

Probably because it's so small. I think they only take in about 75 1st years each year.

I've applied for history. Peterhouse is the oldest college in Cambridge so what better place to study history! The architecture is amazing and there's a deer park next to it - perfect for a winter walk.
I've applied for Medicine. I chose Peterhouse because it seemed like a very cozy, small and friendly college :smile:

Don’t worry, they don’t look too much into the admission tests, you’ll have a high chance! What results did you get?
