Great blog !!!

Highly Appreciated. I am planning to join JBS this year and this blog does make life a whole lot earlier.
I guess the comments at the end from various students are equally good and I would make it a point to add my share to it once I experience it first hand.

In the meantime ... thanks !!!

Thanks, Robyn. It's great to get feedback from former classes! The good
food is something I think I've heard from this years' class at Queens', too.

I am from MBA 07/08 and was at Queens – there were heaps of us last year, certainly more than 10. Queens' is a good choice as the accommodation while basic is all in central Cambridge. So of the colleges site Grads outside of the town – so that is something that can be checked. Also, the Porters are some of the best, it has old worldy charm and in fact excellent food! So I would highly recommend it.

Sebastian, that's some great info on Queens'. I may have to come to lunch
at Queens' to verify your claims of excellent food!

For those looking for more details about Queens´ College I can give you some perspectives as a current member

Even though the College is very close to the school just one of the
10 mba´s live in College. The rest of us are divided in:

1. Singles, who lived in Ownstone, a College accommodation that is
about 1.2 km from judge. It is my opinion not the best architectural
creation of Cambridge but it gathers a group of interesting
international students.

2. Couples, Some live in private accommodation and others as me live
in College accommodation. Queens College Accommodation is actually
excellent a relative cheap (500-600 pounds per month for a flat). But
there is only 12 of them so it is not that easy to get.

Food & Others:
Queens Food is actually one of the best in Cambridge and it is only
4 blocks from Judge. But for those who don’t leave in College (every mba except Michelle, Breakfast and dinner are not easy to catch. The MCR is quite active and there is a lot of activities going on organized by students. Rowing club is particular popular among MBAs. Formal halls are quite good specially if prepared in the old hall.

Thanks for that, Carlos. I know in my Jesus accommodation I don't have an
ensuite bathroom or shower, but I was one of the last people to get housing,
so didn't have much choice! At least in Jesus, there don't seem to be as
many rooms with ensuite showers, but I believe there are some with ensuite
bathrooms. (And there's at least some married housing at Jesus, too.)
