Trinity College was founded in the 16th century by Sir Thomas Pope, on land previously occupied by Durham College. The College is small in its intake of approximately 400 students. It was first founded as a men’s college and admitted its first women students in 1979. The College has great facilities including the back lawns where students can be seen relaxing, playing croquet or going for walks. The College has many avid rowers and the College shares a boathouse on the Isis, with boats on another section of the river. Don’t let this put you off if you have never rowed though, as the College welcomes novices!
