FITZWILLIAM COLLEGE

Fitzwilliam College – affectionately known as Fitz – is a friendly and welcoming community, founded in 1869 to widen access to Cambridge. With about 140 students in each year, our students and staff create an amazing community and make sure that the college is a warm and supportive space for both studying and socialising. All of our students have access to kitchens equipped with hobs and ovens: you’ll often find groups of friends cooking a delicious meal together! When it comes to extra-curricular activities, we truly have something for everyone, whether you want to play football, take up gardening, or join our newly revived Art Society. While just a 15 minute walk away from the city centre, the large open spaces provide a haven from busy university life. You’ll struggle to find a more peaceful spot in Cambridge than our beautiful gardens, which are regularly patrolled by Billy the Goat, the college (wicker) mascot.
