Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge
Lucy Cavendish has over 350 students, approximately 40% of whom are undergraduates and 60% graduates. Students originate from over 60 different countries, making it a distinctly international college. The majority of its undergraduates have applied directly, but in comparison to the university-wide averages the college makes proportionately more offers to the university's 'pool' applicants. The college website states that "Students from every corner of the UK mix with students from around the world. Students with 'Access' qualifications interact with students who have studied for A-levels and the International Baccalaureate. Former bankers, singers, journalists and police officers mix with recent graduates of universities from around the world. Women come at any age to study any subject offered by the University." The average age of students in the college is 22.
