This page is intended as a more partisan version of the Collegiate System document, with details of how Girton compares to the other Colleges. Girton is a typical Cambridge College in that all of the points mentioned in the Collegiate System document concerning the organisation of the College and its relationship with the University apply. Numerically, Girton is the third largest college.
Teaching is offered in all the main subjects, and most minor ones.
Similarities and Differences Atmosphere. All Colleges will claim to be friendly places, and on the whole they are, although this will always be open to subjective opinion. Girton is not one of those places. The College Fellowship is on average younger than elsewhere, and with a far higher proportion of female Fellows than at any of the other mixed Colleges. I hope a forthcoming page on Girton from an Undergraduate perspective will have something more to say about this.
