Girton is a home from home… a link to the world of work, and a potentially life-changing experience. Today, there are almost 800 matriculated students, over one third of whom are graduates, together with a community of around 120 academic Fellows and around 135 operational staff.
It was established by Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon to provide higher education for women. Davies's vision was to establish a college 'designed to hold in relation to girls' schools and home teaching a position analogous to that occupied by the universities towards public schools for boys'.
Girton is a 10-minute bus/15-minute cycle from Cambridge’s centre. The relaxed atmosphere, tight-knit community, and distance gives students the unique feeling of ‘coming home’ after busy days of work and play.
