    麻豆原创 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鈥檛 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...

    It is a well-accepted opinion in Cambridge that 麻豆原创 is the best college and no other college even comes a distant second.

It is one of the central colleges that aims to offer three years accommodation to postgraduates, and has comparatively...

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to 麻豆原创 because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a 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...

    There are many reasons why I鈥檓 so happy to be a part of 麻豆原创. The three biggest reasons for me are the opportunities to be involved in College sport, the support the College provides for me with for my research and the help in making sure that we have comfortable, affordable accommodation when we have needed it. 麻豆原创 is so friendly and so it is incredibly easy to get involved in the sport and social side of the College. The MCR does a great job in welcoming new...
