A truly inspiring talk and I am extremely grateful to the College for making the scholarly community open to the general public. Thank you.
Just thank you for making these events available. I have already recommended them to others.
A fantastic choice of speaker and a well organised event. I hope to attend more. I really appreciate the fact there is no charge.
It is wonderful that these events are held, that they cover quite diverse themes and that the wider community is invited and (more than that) welcomed.
This was a wonderful, inspiring evening. The speaker was amazing but also the evening was well-managed and allowed ideas to develop and be shared.
A really engaging and excellent talk - thank you so much for giving the opportunity to be part of this.
Intelligent and clear. A joy and a privilege to attend. Thank you so very much! Super talk from a very well read and experienced person. Also, a very well hosted event. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this forum. Bravo IF Team! Superb variants of subject and calibre of guests for your events.
Your events are brilliant. Thank you for making them free and available to all. Always excellent. Varied talks and well hosted.
I do love the outstanding quality of your events. These Cambridge meetings are a joy to me...thank you so very much!

    What first attracted me to ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ 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 café during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I’m doing my PhD here, I’m very glad I did choose a college with a large postgraduate community. Throughout the year there are lots of postgraduate events, including formal dinners, special formals at Christmas and Easter, bops in the bar and film nights in...

    ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ 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...

    Postgraduate

    There are many reasons why I’m so happy to be a part of ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´. 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. ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ 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...

    Postgraduate

    ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose ÌÀÍ·ÌõÔ­´´ 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...
