Fitzwilliam College is one of the more modern colleges within the University of Cambridge, situated away from the busy town centre at the top of Castle Hill. It is a fairly large community, but a very friendly one, with around 450 undergraduates and 150 graduate students, and over 60 Fellows. The college enjoys a large and peaceful site, off the tourist routes but within ten minutes' cycle ride of all the major Faculties and Departments. The college was built in the 1960s in the grounds of the Grove, a splendid Regency house which is now part of the college. The first student buildings were designed by Sir Denys Lasdun and completed in 1966; these were followed by New Court and Wilson Court, and the award-winning chapel designed by Richard MacCormac. The College presents a rather austere face to the Huntingdon Road, from which most visitors to the town approach it, and its beautiful gardens enclosed by student accommodation are one of Cambridge's best-kept secrets. But Fitzwilliam College is more than a collection of attractive buildings. Welcoming and unstuffy, it is known throughout the University for its friendliness. It looks for intellectual achievement and commitment among its members, but seeks to foster academic success within a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
