The Big 'Which Cambridge College?' Thread

clare is the largest college in cambridge

trinity is amazing, its the college where isaac newton studied, queens is nice too, clare is the largest college in cambridge...u ought 2 look at the specific entry requirements and admissions tests required by each college for the course ur doing, i recon trinity will have the toughest entry requirements......

Clare is the prettiest out of the 3, and is a nice size. Queens has some terrible buildings in it, and some really nice ones. Trinity is massive.

Which one is the friendliest/ more socialable college, out of the 3? Thanks!

It's a postgraduate course I'm choosing so as long as I get onto the course I can choose any college I want. Which college has the friendliest atmosphere from the ones I have mentioned. Also, why do you describe Trinty as ''amazing''? Thanks.

So, I'm not applying until next year, but I was just wondering something; which college would be best for Engineering, doesn't put too much emphasis on deferred entry, is relatively close to everything, offers on site accommodation, and pretty much looks like a castle. :P

I've been considering King's, but I don't want it to be too touristy, where I to get in, that is.

OK, I know they're both all-girls, but I've been going to an all-girls school for so many years that I think I'll find it hard to make friends with boys as I'm not so used to doing so, but I am straight!! (:
Anyway, I'm leaning towards Newnham because I've heard New Hall is pretty new looking and I want a more traditional college. But, which one is nearer to the Medical labs/lectures/science areas? Other pros and cons about either college would be greatly appreciated (: x

You haven't even sat your GCSE's yet and you are trying to pick your college?

Our school have been nagging us already to start looking at unis, etc so here I am (:

Your school sounds silly. I hadn't even realised what course I wanted to do until august this year, and I'm applying for 2009 entry.
