The Colleges

The Colleges are responsible for admitting students to the University, and your College will be your base while you're studying at Cambridge. Therefore, once you've decided that we offer a course and the approach to study that you'd like to take, you need to consider College choice.

Use the links below to find out more about the Colleges and how to go about choosing one.

What is a College?

Most Colleges provide accommodation for three years, as well as places and facilities to eat, socialise, study and much more.

Guidance and advice about how to (and how not to) choose a College and open applications.

Contacting a College

Each of the Colleges has an admissions office, which you can contact directly to find out more.

Your College is much more than a hall of residence; it's also where you'll do a lot of your studying and socialising. How much time you spend in your College is up to you. For some students, their College is simply the place where they sleep and attend supervisions. For most, though, it provides experiences and friendships that can last a lifetime.
