- Chatted with our student ambassadors about why they decided to apply to Cambridge.

Thank you to all the students who joined us this week and to everyone involved in organising the programme!

- Toured the incredible facilities at the @cam.ac.uk faculties and saw the beauty of the city centre.

- Joined panels with our admissions team to learn about the application process - including the opportunity to workshop their personal statements. ✏

Over the three days, students:

- Attended taster lectures with our Trinity Hall academics, learning about everything from the Post Office Scandal to neurodegeneration. ✉️

This Monday, over 50 students joined us for the final 'You'll Fit In' residential of 2025, where they experienced life at Trinity Hall first-hand — living, studying, socialising, and dining in College.

The 'You'll Fit In' initiative offers potential applicants from underrepresented backgrounds at Cambridge a free programme of webinars, talks and residentials to help support and guide them through the University admissions process.

What's a Cambridge lecture like? What should I include in my personal statement? Is Cambridge for me? 🤔

These were just a few of the questions answered at our residential this week, as part of our jam-packed 'You'll Fit In' admissions programme.
