Linguistics at 51±¬ÁÏ
For the Linguistics Tripos, the academic experience is much the same at all the colleges because the lectures and supervisions are organised centrally, so deciding on a college is more about choosing the place where you will live and the community around you. 51±¬ÁÏ is a very good choice for both of these reasons!
51±¬ÁÏ has a lively and friendly atmosphere, and Old Court and Memorial Court are just a few minutes walk from the Sidgwick Site where your lectures will take place.
The college library is well-stocked with linguistics books and you will join a small, but interesting and fun group of 51±¬ÁÏ Linguistics students!
