College Families

College families are a brilliant tradition in Cambridge by which two or three friends in the second year become 'married' in a ceremony complete with Haribo rings, and adopt two or three freshers for the next year to become their mentors, friends, and very occasionally, corruptors!

Every year we hold family night, a chance for families to get together and have drinks and dinner together, and end up in a Cambridge club rented out by college. It's a brilliant chance for freshers to see a bit more of Cambridge and meet some second years, and of course ask any questions you may have about your subject, Cambridge, or Uni life in general....

We'd really strongly encourage all freshers to get in touch with their parents before freshers' week though, just to introduce themselves or to ask loads of questions you might not want to ask on the forums, so below is a list of parents and their children - feel free to get in touch!
