Robinson College

Robinson College, Cambridge, founded in 1977, is one of the newest colleges in the University of Cambridge. Known for its modern architecture, the college provides a distinctive contrast to the university's more traditional buildings. Its red-brick design, lush gardens, and inclusive atmosphere create a welcoming environment for students. Academically, Robinson maintains high standards with strong support systems in place. The college boasts excellent facilities, including a well-stocked library, comfortable accommodation, and diverse dining options. Socially, it has a vibrant community with active clubs, societies, and events, fostering a well-rounded student experience.

My experience at the college has been positive. The food is great, and most of the staff are helpful and welcoming.

Fantastic architecture, mindblowingly beautiful and innovatively designed gardens.

Highly recommended for the Cambridge traveller daring enough to venture beyond the city centre into the Wild West.

There's an affordable café and bar on site, too, with friendly staff and nice cakes.

Although some call this College 'The Car Park' due it its red-brick exterior, it is in actual fact the best college in the University of Cambridge. It is much more down to earth than many of the other, older colleges and it has some of the nicest gardens in Cambridge. Whatismore, you are allowed to walk on the grass.

If was the first college founded to be co-ed in the whole university, so three cheers for gender equality.

The newest college found in Cambridge. The design and structure of the building are amazing, and the chapel is beautiful. Wonderful place;)
