The Cambridge Scene and the Social Side

Cambridge University has a large and growing graduate community of 5,500 and a total student population of 15,000. Unlike most other British universities, Cambridge is organised into a collegiate system. This means that each student is part of a Department (in our case Engineering) for academic studies and affiliated to a College for social and welfare aspects.

There are currently 31 Colleges [click here for the University website list of Colleges].

Each College has its own sports facilities, bars, social events (such as freshers' week) and accommodation. People generally make many of their friends in College, so choosing one is relatively important. For more information refer to the Graduate Union Alternative Prospectus.
