Trevelyan College
Welcome to a small, friendly, supportive college with a clear community feel… Trevelyan is small but perfectly formed and architecturally distinctive: our study bedrooms lead onto hexagonal landings providing natural social areas, and most of our wide-ranging facilities can be reached without even leaving the building. You will feel at home the minute you walk through the door, surrounded by a friendly atmosphere and a buzz of activity – or step outside and enjoy our beautiful parkland setting. Academically, we encourage progressive interest in seeing the world from different subject perspectives, and in how research generates new knowledge. This complements a huge array of opportunities for personal development, creativity and leadership. There is always plenty to do at Trevelyan! We are particularly known for our strengths in music and the performing arts and have our own music practice rooms. As well as musical ensembles and bands of all genres including

a classical orchestra, our open-air music festival Trevstock annually showcases the extraordinary musical talent amongst our students. In addition, our high-calibre musical is performed and directed entirely by our students. We have a strong sporting tradition as well: the variety of sports clubs, open to beginners and enthusiasts alike, include Frisbee, football, cricket, rugby, rowing, lacrosse, sailing and darts. We boast indoor and outdoor sports courts and two rowing eights. Despite our small size we achieve well and, in a number of sports, we are often among the medal winners. In drama, the productions of the Hill College Theatre Company include open-air Shakespeare performances, with Trevelyan students heavily involved, both beginners and regular performers. We also hold a popular art competition for budding artists. At Trevelyan there is space to develop your talents or discover new ones, and make friendships that will last a lifetime. People often say Trevs is a way of life; they cannot imagine being anywhere else.

Meet Christine “Colleges makes you feel like you belong. As an international student this was especially important to me. Trevelyan made me feel at home from day one. Trevs is considered the most musical college. I love music and I wanted a college where I could play piano. Trevs has a lot of musical events and societies, like Live on the Hill and unplugged sessions. I am part of the college choir and sing in the church. It makes me feel involved in this country’s cultural events – singing the evensongs and I feel opened to a new world of music. I am also captain of the women’s badminton B team. This has developed my leadership, organisational and teamwork skills. And of course my badminton skills have improved too.” Tsz Kam Kwok (Christine), Biological Sciences student.
