The Queen's College
The student body at Queen’s is friendly and inclusive. Our students are passionate about their chosen subjects and are extremely well-supported in their academic pursuits by both their tutors and their peers. We're proud to have such a warm and welcoming community at Queen's. During the daily JCR (Junior Common Room) tea, friendships from across both year and subject groups are formed, as students come together to enjoy tea, cake and a catch-up.
As a place to live, study and socialise, Queen’s is a beautiful mix of old and new. Students make good use of the spacious library, which is open 24/7 and includes the stunning 17th-century Upper Library and the state-of-the-art New Library. The College also has a strong tradition in music, sport and drama, so when students are looking for a break from work there are plenty of extra-curricular and social activities to get involved in. Whether they want to relax with friends in the college bar, enjoy a musical performance or film screening in the auditorium, or join one of our sports teams, there's always lots to do here at Queen's!
