Gardens and wildlife in College

º£½ÇÉäÇø has approximately 33 acres of land on its main site, which includes a variety of wildlife habitats.

We have found everything from muntjac deer to nesting sparrowhawks, water voles to common newts. We have started a  to investigate and showcase the wildlife that has been found, including running a year round moth trap and a nestbox webcam. You can see our nature trail marked on º£½ÇÉäÇø's map and the during nesting season.

    I chose Cambridge for my PGCE as it’s the leading UK institution for teacher training and Education, with an exciting, research-dominated, cutting edge course. The staff are welcoming and approachable, and make studying here an absolute joy. I’ve already completed one of my three primary school placements, in a reception class in a school just outside Cambridge, and am due to start the next one soon. I chose Jesus because of its reputation as a sporty College, but the proximity to the city centre is a big bonus. Jesus also...

    I chose º£½ÇÉäÇø because of the great mixture of undergraduates and postgraduates, and when I first visited I thought it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen!

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...

    What first attracted me to º£½ÇÉäÇø was its reputation and history, central location without being touristy, and the postgraduate housing options.

We especially enjoyed The Roost, the nicest of all the college bars, doubling as a café during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...

    º£½ÇÉäÇø has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose º£½ÇÉäÇø for a number of reasons – 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’ve seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...

    There are many reasons why I’m so happy to be a part of º£½ÇÉäÇø. 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. º£½ÇÉäÇø 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...
