It's very redbrick and modern (so it's not very traditional cambridgewise). But a plus is that the facilities are great (ensuite rooms etc) and it's right next to the university library!

People do have to occasionally use a library!!! I don't wanna spend £35 on a text book that i'll only need to use for one unit, so I borrow it from the library instead!!! You aren't wrong Adhsur!!!

Each college has at least one library, most have more, which allows you to borrow books. You can't borrow stuff from the UL in your first 2 years, so as a borrowing library its pretty crap. Your college libraries should have all the books you need.
Please don't talk like that if you don't know what you're talking about.

Me? I'm sorry...from maps and various intuitive conjectures I thought I was right! I didn't intend to mislead anyone - I just thought it would be the best library since it is THE university library. I didn't think it was practically unusable.

By all means, visit the UL, but its not really that spectacular and don't chose your college based on its proximity to it.

I wouldn't say it was practically unusable (although I don't really know!) but apparently they have nice tea rooms. I wouldn't say it was one of the reasons to pick a college though - if you're lazy, the most important thing is to be near lecture theatres, which is why apparently Downing has loads of medics, not that I've met any of them. Besides, some colleges' second year accommodation is not in the same place as the main buildings - like us and the Colony....grrrr, so even that's hard to decide.

Touchy Dan, touchy... The UL is a pain because it has all these books and you can't borrow them in the 1st 2 years. However, Newnham has the biggest college library, each tripos has a library and I still get stuck for books sometimes. Then it is useful being at the UL where you can use the books to do work in the library.
