Trinity Hall Cambridge

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and it was an unforgettable experience. The college's rich history, stunning architecture, and serene environment left a lasting impression on me. The elegant courtyards, the beautiful chapel, and the picturesque riverside setting created a perfect blend of tradition and tranquility. Walking through the ancient corridors and exploring the well-preserved gardens gave me a glimpse into the life of students past and present. The staff and guides were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the college's heritage and notable alumni. While the visit was mostly delightful, I felt that some areas could benefit from more detailed informational plaques to enhance the self-guided tour experience. Nevertheless, the charm and historical significance of Trinity Hall far outweighed this minor critique. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Trinity Hall, Cambridge, to anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply soaking in the ambiance of one of Cambridge's oldest colleges.

Trinity Hall, though often slightly overshadowed by its larger neighbor, is a deeply respected and charming college at the heart of Cambridge, consistently praised by friends and colleagues for its incredibly supportive and close-knit community atmosphere. What truly defines Trinity Hall is its perfect blend of ancient history and accessible modernity, offering stunning riverside views and historic buildings alongside exceptional teaching facilities. Individuals who have studied there frequently highlight the high level of individual academic attention provided through supervisions, emphasizing that the tutors are deeply committed to student success. Furthermore, the college is well-known for fostering strong social bonds and a genuine sense of belonging among its members. Trinity Hall successfully maintains the highest academic standards expected of Cambridge while cultivating a warmly collegiate environment, making it a highly desirable place for serious scholarship.

Hidden in a small lane within the city centre, this college is captivating and peaceful. Beautiful landscape with a charming Jerwood Library which you definitely won't miss.

The porters were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was spotless and the buildings had character and history. Great way to experience the essence of Cambridge.

Had a phenomenal time here pursuing a PhD. Came back to visit after 8 years away, but Trinity Halll was unfortunately closed to all visitors, including alumni. I feel like the colleges should really standardized their policy for visiting. The rules vary so wildly amongst the colleges (i.e. some allow all visitors, some allow all alumni only, some allow only their own alumni, some allow none). At least the staff was nice about it. Here are the admissions policies of all colleges we visited (or attempted to visit) between July 28 and August 3: Open to all visitors Jesus (open to all visitors) St. John’s (open to all visitors) King’s (open to all visitors) Downing (open to all visitors) Emmanuel (open to all visitors) Corpus Christi (open to all visitors) Queen’s (open to all visitors) Newnham (open to all visitors) Pembroke (open to all visitors, closed on one day for a wedding) Open to any alumni, regardless of college Trinity (only open to any alumni, likely due to construction work) St. Catherine’s (only open to any alumni) Magdalene (only open to any alumni) Only open to their own alumni Peterhouse (only open to their own alumni; exceptions may be made for other alumni) Christ (only open to their own alumni, likely due to construction work and wedding on one day) Sidney Sussex (only open to their own alumni – could not visit) Gonville & Caius (only open to their own alumni – could not visit) Trinity Hall (only open to their own alumni – could not visit)

A charming older college with immaculate gardens and a splendid view of the river.

Very nice small welcoming college. It has many traditional stuff and historical items that occasionally exhibit but also offers more modern events and open culture. We can sit on the grass! High quality food and friendly environment. Organises many concerts as well

A beautiful college. Very calm and peaceful.
