Peterhouse Alternative Prospectus

only fellows are allowed to walk on the grass...

Hello and welcome to a brand new version of the Alternative Prospectus for Peterhouse. The point of this guide is to give prospective applicants an overview of the college – everything from subjects offered, to facilities on- and off-site, to the quality of the food that you eat in the canteen. It’s meant to be as comprehensive as possible, but most importantly every item included is written by a student and directly from a student’s point of view, and therefore the prospectus gives an insight into Peterhouse that won’t be available in any of the official literature. The guide is critical as well as positive, and absolutely none of it has been censored by any authority or staff of the college itself. Of course, at the end of the day, each article is only one person’s viewpoint, but we really hope it helps in dispelling any myths and indicating that Peterhouse really is the college for you.

So we hope that you find the following useful – use the buttons at the side to navigate around the website, and if you’ve any questions about applying to Peterhouse or issues that you think we’ve left out, don’t hesitate to drop us an email. There’s no substitute for actually coming to Cambridge and seeing Peterhouse, either as part of an open day (find out more...) or by contacting the admissions office, but this prospectus should give you a good impression of what College is like.
