Cambridge Robinson - Student Life

Housing: All undergraduates housed - most in or adjoining the college, some 200 years in college houses off the main site.

Eats: Cafeteria open every weekday, lunch only at weekend (but well-equipped kitchens on each staircase). Quality of food high, range of options and good provision for vegetarians and special diets.

Drink: College bar, open at lunchtimes as well as evenings; prices higher than other student bars (lower subsidies), a pint costs £1.80+. Pubs in town not far for change of scene.

Nightlife: Regular ents, films twice a week (recent releases), popular, reasonably priced May Ball.

Locals: Relations generally good; Cambridge is a safe area for students with common sense.

Sports: Boathouse shared with John's; tennis courts and pitches (hockey, football, rugby) reasonably close; squash and badminton courts over the road. Croquet lawn.

Travel: Grants for study-related travel. College prizes for non-study related travel.

Financial help: College generous with what it has. Bursaries for those in trouble. Book grants available to every student.

Jobs: No termly work allowed; college employs many students outside term, good wage and free accommodation.

Best features: Good community atmosphere; refreshing outlook and modern facilities.

And worst: Limited nightlife in Cambridge itself.
