It’s a cliché, but I chose Corpus because the moment I walked into New Court for the first time I just felt that it was the right college for me. The fact that we’re one of the smaller colleges in terms of student numbers means that you tend to know everyone else, which I have found makes Corpus an extremely welcoming and inclusive environment to live and study in. Being in the centre of Cambridge is really handy as well because you’re never too far from anywhere you could need to go.
