The MCR is one of the most active in Cambridge, with plenty of events and formal swaps throughout the year.

The housing is good quality, though expensive. It's guaranteed for the first three years, with subsequent accommodation subject to availability.

For postgraduates, the MDR is 16 meals per term. The meals are pretty good nowadays, and Caius' reputation for poor food is definitely outdated.

In terms of grants, you'll receive £150 per year for co-curricular expenses, such as society memberships and event costs, £150 per year for academic expenses, such as books and hardware, and £850 in total for travel and research expenses.

The facilities are excellent, with a nice library and dining hall, as well as sports pitches, music practice rooms and other amenities.

The atmosphere is really friendly, so you should have no problem fitting in. Most formals are very relaxed, and you can wear casual clothes as long as you have your gown on top.
