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, which is one of the most active in Cambridge. It provides a thriving social life and offers welfare to all postgraduates, new and old. It provides a wide array of societies aimed at a range of levels. I chose to row at Jesus, as it offers a fantastic coaching team and excellent facilities. With the rowing club, I’ve travelled to many competitions which included Moscow!

Jesus owns a large number of properties close to College, you can have access to the dining hall or self-cater. Whilst I chose to reside in private accommodation, I’ve made use of the wonderful facilities, and regularly use the large library, relax in the café and bar, and attend formals with friends.

On an academic side, I’ve found Jesus to offer a thriving like-minded community where you mix with a range of backgrounds. I found their Postgraduate Conference and seminar series a useful tool, as well as them providing me with mentors who can offer academic advice, as well as personal support.

I highly recommend joining us at ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë, and hope to meet you!

    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...

    What first attracted me to ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë was its reputation and history, central location without being touristy, and the postgraduate housing options. When I arrived at Jesus I was so pleased to find the partner accommodation was spacious, affordable, and situated very close to the college, allowing us to really take advantage of the facilities. We especially enjoyed The Roost, the nicest of all the college bars, doubling as a café during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...

    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...

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to ÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ºÅÂë because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I’m doing my PhD here, I’m very glad I did choose a college with a large postgraduate community. Throughout the year there are lots of postgraduate events, including formal dinners, special formals at Christmas and Easter, bops in the bar and film nights in...

    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...
