Kings vs Clare Cambridge
Hi, I’m wanting to study Modern and Medieval Languages (French and Spanish) at Cambridge and am really stuck between whether I should apply for Clare or Kings.
I was wondering if any students at those colleges or anyone at the uni in general could give me some advice?
The social scene is quite important to me, so is one better than the other in that aspect..?
Thanks!

There are social scenes in Cambridge itself, in your subject, in any sport or society you take up, as well as within your College. Also, the student population is dynamic, it changes by about 1/3 per year, and your year group will be entirely new alongside you when you join. So there's no fixed 'social scene' at any College, and anyway you might not want to socialize in College. So I wouldn't be comparing on that basis. They are both in effectively the same position, in fact they are very similar - more tourists at Kings, but otherwise not much to choose. King's colours are a rather bright purple - Clare is Black and yellow - which colour stash do you want to spend 3 years wearing?
