Gardens and wildlife in College

ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë has approximately 33 acres of land on its main site, which includes a variety of wildlife habitats.

We have found everything from muntjac deer to nesting sparrowhawks, water voles to common newts. We have started a  to investigate and showcase the wildlife that has been found, including running a year round moth trap and a nestbox webcam. You can see our nature trail marked on ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë's map and the during nesting season.

Contributions are welcome; please contact wildlife@jesus.cam.ac.uk if you think you have spotted something or would like to help in any way.

    It is a well-accepted opinion in Cambridge that ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë is the best college and no other college even comes a distant second. Its sports grounds are enormous, its buildings are mesmerising, its libraries are rich, its chapel is the oldest, its accommodation is the best value for money, its international community is diverse, its religious circles are the most welcoming, and its members are the smartest, kindest and the friendliest. It is one of the central colleges that aims to offer three years accommodation to postgraduates, and has comparatively...

    ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë has been at the heart of my Cambridge experience. I chose the College because I was impressed by its distinctive blend of academic rigour and extracurricular achievement. A College for all-rounders, Jesus is a lively and rewarding place to study. I couldn’t be happier here! Friendly and engaged, the Jesus postgraduate community never ceases to impress me. At ease with themselves and forever curious, my peers go out of their way to cultivate a sense of camaraderie. After a day of leafing through old manuscripts at the National...

    ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë has all the benefits of being large, historical and prestigious college, whilst also retaining fantastic welfare: the staff and other students all care about each other, and will be there to cheer you on when you are thriving, but also there to support you if you need any help. I chose Jesus due to several reasons, including its prime location, where it is very central, and easy to access everywhere, even if you work in one of the institutes further out. I also selected Jesus for its MCR...

    ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë for a number of reasons – first, the location. We are central enough to be within easy walking distance of most things, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle (and tourists in summer!). The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site. Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best I’ve seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...

    I chose ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë because of the great mixture of undergraduates and postgraduates, and when I first visited I thought it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen! The sense of community in Jesus has had an enormous impact on my experience here. Whether you need help, advice, cheering up or even just a chat there is always someone there to put a smile on your face. From the MCR committee to the Porters, the canteen staff to the gardeners, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Jesus also...
