Which Cambridge college is best for engineering?

Hey folks, I'm considering applying to study engineering at Cambridge. Does anyone have insights on which Cambridge college is the best for engineering students, in terms of academics or extracurriculars?

While it's important to note that regardless of which college you join at Cambridge, you'll be taught by the same academic staff in the Department of Engineering for your lectures, practicals, and labs, some differences between colleges exist in terms of student support, facilities and the general vibe!

Colleges like Trinity, St. John's, and Churchill are often recommended for engineering. Churchill College, for instance, has a reputation for the sciences and engineering due to its historical emphasis on these subjects. It also has a larger student population in science and engineering subjects, so you might find a community of students you can collaborate with quite easily.

Queen's College is another you may want to check out, as it has a strong tradition in Engineering and the Fellows are very supportive of their Engineering undergraduates. Their library is also well-stocked with engineering-related books.

On a final note, it's crucial to consider other aspects of college life as well, such as the location, size of the student body, availability of accommodation, and extracurricular offerings. Try to look up more information about each college, and if possible, visit the colleges (in-person or virtual tours). It's often the college where you feel you 'fit' the best that will end up being the right choice for you.
