"Newnham is the most fantastic place - an easy-going but resolute embodiment of a 'girl-power' as relevant now as it was in 1871 - encouraging members to do whatever the hell they want to do in life, and to be proud of it." Lucy Stoy

Student Life

Sports and Societies

Newnham College has a wide range of societies and sports teams on offer.  New ones spring up all the time, so this is unlikely to be a comprehensive list, and if there's one you'd like to see that isn't here, why not start it yourself?

Most societies are for graduates and undergraduates alike. There are also University-wide societies.
