About the College

Robinson prides itself on being an open and friendly community while maintaining the highest academic standards. Our location is excellent, close to many University departments and only a short walk from the city centre.

• Robinson College is an intellectually stimulating environment to live in. There are students on almost all Cambridge courses, and we have all the resources you’ll need to make it easy for you to focus on your studies and pursue academic excellence.

• You’ll be welcomed by a community of scholars that's bright, diverse and down-to-earth. There are certain to be other students here who share your interests and enthusiasms, whatever they are.

• Our accommodation is first-class. Your room will be comfortable and well equipped, and your bathroom will be either en suite or shared with typically one or two other students. We guarantee you College-managed accommodation for the duration of your original course.

• Our chefs’ aim is to provide you with the best College meals in Cambridge, whether you eat in our informal cafeteria-style Garden Restaurant or at our optional twice-weekly formal dinners.

• The College is situated in beautiful tranquil gardens; an oasis of calm just a short distance from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The University Library is just across the road and the arts faculties and the science, Veterinary Medicine, Mathematics and Computer Science departments at West Cambridge are all close by.

Our key expectation is that you work hard to fulfil your academic potential.

Our open events in March, April, July and September are good times to visit us. We also welcome visits from individuals and school groups at other times. If you have any questions or wish to arrange a visit, contact Keisha Sharp in the College Admissions Office.
