What is Robinson College, Cambridge?
[[File:Robinson College - geograph.org.uk - 38524.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The entrance of Robinson College]] '''Robinson College''' is one of the colleges of the [[University of Cambridge]], [[England]]. It was created in 1977 so it is the newest college in Cambridge. It allowed both men and women from the start. Today, it has about 550 students. The college was opened by [[Queen Elizabeth II]] in 1981. Because it is new, it does not have many of the traditions of the older colleges. For example, students can walk on the grass in the college gardens. It takes the name from David Robinson who gave £18 million to build the college. He also gave £3 million to build a new part of the [[Addenbrooke's Hospital]] in Cambridge.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.robinson.cam.ac.uk/about/history.php|title=History - Sir David Robinson|publisher=Robinson College, Cambridge|accessdate=28 December 2012|archive-date=7 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130207160509/http://www.robinson.cam.ac.uk/about/history.php|url-status=dead}}</ref> The buildings are made of red [[brick]] and are found in Grange Road, a few minutes away from the city centre of [[Cambridge]].
