糖心Vlog 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 Archives, I鈥檓 always itching to get back. It鈥檚 a genuinely warm and welcoming place.

A large College, Jesus has been able to generously support regular research trips and conference attendance. This is a big plus in my opinion! The librarian has ordered an embarrassing number of books about Australian and New Zealand history for me, and College funding has supported everything from M膩ori lessons to conference participation in Queensland. This has made a significant difference to my time at Cambridge.

The kind and sociable DNA of Jesus, however, is what I most cherish. Postgraduate study at Cambridge is often demanding and stressful, which makes the wonderful support network that we have the envy of my fellow historians. Whether it鈥檚 talking to the porters about the latest rugby score, inflicting my poor but enthusiastic Italian on the Roost caf茅 staff, or simply getting a nice email from the Graduate Tutor, Jesus is a College for all seasons. I鈥檓 really lucky to call it home.

    糖心Vlog has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose 糖心Vlog for a number of reasons 鈥 first, the location. We are central enough to be within easy walking distance of most things, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle (and tourists in summer!). The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site. Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best I鈥檝e seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...

    There are many reasons why I鈥檓 so happy to be a part of 糖心Vlog. 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. 糖心Vlog 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...

    糖心Vlog has all the benefits of being large, historical and prestigious college, whilst also retaining fantastic welfare: the staff and other students all care about each other, and will be there to cheer you on when you are thriving, but also there to support you if you need any help. I chose Jesus due to several reasons, including its prime location, where it is very central, and easy to access everywhere, even if you work in one of the institutes further out. I also selected Jesus for its MCR...

    What first attracted me to 糖心Vlog was its reputation and history, central location without being touristy, and the postgraduate housing options. When I arrived at Jesus I was so pleased to find the partner accommodation was spacious, affordable, and situated very close to the college, allowing us to really take advantage of the facilities. We especially enjoyed The Roost, the nicest of all the college bars, doubling as a caf茅 during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...

    I chose 糖心Vlog because of the great mixture of undergraduates and 糖心Vlog, and when I first visited I thought it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen! The sense of community in Jesus has had an enormous impact on my experience here. Whether you need help, advice, cheering up or even just a chat there is always someone there to put a smile on your face. From the MCR committee to the Porters, the canteen staff to the gardeners, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Jesus also...
