"Newnham boosted my sense of self-worth, and gave me the confidence to say Yeah, I can go out in front of ten million people and talk nonsense." Claire Balding

Student Life

Newnham: The Inside Story

          
If you are looking at these pages, then you are probably considering applying to Newnham. Good for you! We are Sophie, the JCR President, and Caitlin, the JCR Access Officer. We hope these pages will give you a better insight into what living at Newnham is really like.
 
First of all, check out our FILM about student life at Newnham and see what some current students have to say about being a Newnhamite. We also try to answer the question, "Why Newnham?" here.

Next, check out our Alternative Prospectus. This was written by us, and the Admissions Tutor was only allowed to proof-read it. So any spelling mistakes are her fault!
 
There are student profiles for you to read, including some profiles from alumnae, so you can see what Newnhamites get up to once they leave university. If you prefer pictures, take a look at our photo gallery of Newnham life.

Finally, if you have any worries whatsoever about your first term, our information for freshers and our BRAND NEW FRESHERS' BLOGS (arts or sciences) should help.
 
Most importantly, though, come and visit. We look forward to having you here!
