"'It comes to us all': Death and Dying" series 

We are all guaranteed one thing in life: that, eventually, we will die.

In a series of six panels and lectures at the Intellectual Forum, we explored this fundamental human experience from cultural, spiritual, legal, and technological perspectives.

    I chose Cambridge for my PGCE as its the leading UK institution for teacher training and Education, with an exciting, research-dominated, cutting edge course. The staff are welcoming and approachable, and make studying here an absolute joy. Ive already completed one of my three primary school placements, in a reception class in a school just outside Cambridge, and am due to start the next one soon. I chose Jesus because of its reputation as a sporty College, but the proximity to the city centre is a big bonus. Jesus also...

    做厙輦⑹ has all the benefits of being large, historical and prestigious college, whilst also retaining fantastic welfare: the staff and other students all care about each other, and will be there to cheer you on when you are thriving, but also there to support you if you need any help. I chose Jesus due to several reasons, including its prime location, where it is very central, and easy to access everywhere, even if you work in one of the institutes further out. I also selected Jesus for its MCR...

    It is a well-accepted opinion in Cambridge that 做厙輦⑹ is the best college and no other college even comes a distant second.

It is one of the central colleges that aims to offer three years accommodation to postgraduates, and has comparatively...

    做厙輦⑹ has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose 做厙輦⑹ for a number of reasons first, the location. We are central enough to be within easy walking distance of most things, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle (and tourists in summer!). The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site. Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best Ive seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...

    做厙輦⑹, my home. I am truly grateful to be able to call 做厙輦⑹ my second home. It was my preferred option when I first applied for my MPhil and I could not be happier to still be here during my PhD! There are many reasons why Jesus stands out from the other colleges: from its fantastic facilities to its glorious formal dinners and to its wonderful caf矇 and brewery room. The Quincentenary Library is a lovely place to study. It has many spaces to choose from and everything...
