Cambridge Robinson - Student View

Youngest Cambridge college and one of the most relaxed and friendly atmospheres, yet still maintains the highest standards traditionally associated with Cambridge.

Attracts a good mix of students from a diverse range of backgrounds. Variety of societies including numerous successful sporting teams and a thriving theatrical and musical community.

Designed as a conference centre out of term, so catering and accommodation are well above the student norm (most rooms are ensuite). Some criticise the modern architecture but the picturesque gardens, ideal for lazing about during the summer term, more than make up for this.

The benefits of being tourist-free should not be underestimated. Being new, there is a wide range of modern facilities, including a large JCR, a TV room, one of the biggest and best college bars, a large theatre (which doubles as a Dolby Digital cinema!) and a beautiful chapel.

Well-organised ents team puts on a broad range of regular events in both the main bar and the College party room. Robinson successfully treads the line between traditional Cambridge and the real world, and should seriously be considered by anyone thinking of Cambridge.
