Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge Description
Fitzwilliam is one of the more modern colleges within the University of Cambridge, and enjoys a large and tranquil site within ten minutes' cycle ride of all the major Faculties and Departments. Fitzwilliam's beautiful gardens, enclosed by student accommodation, are one of Cambridge's best-kept secrets.
Fitzwilliam began in 1869 as a non-collegiate institution, providing Cambridge education to undergraduates who were unable to afford membership of a college. Teaching was organized from a handsome house opposite the Fitzwilliam Museum.
Fitzwilliam House (as it was then called) moved into new buildings on its present site in 1963, received its Royal Charter in 1966 and became Fitzwilliam College.
