Gonville & Caius College has a strong medical tradition, with 25 undergraduates in each year group. Grace Amedor (Medicine 2019) shared a typical day in Michaelmas Term of her third year on the Caius College Instagram page, and it is reproduced here. Read more about Medicine on our subject pages.
Wake up @ 8.30am. I’m lucky enough to not have any 9ams this year! I’ve got two lectures today, so I’m pre-reading for them whilst having breakfast.
10.50am: and walking to the first lecture of the day along King’s Parade! All my lectures are easily within walking distance of my accommodation this year
11am: and first lecture on Neural circuits and Behaviour. As a third-year medic, I’ve opted to major in Physiology, Development and Neuroscience (mainly neuroscience one)
12.30pm: Back to College for my twice-termly tutor meeting. Each member of Caius College is given a tutor whose role is to help you with personal, welfare or financial support.
1pm: out to lunch with friends!
3pm: Time for my second lecture of the day on The Family. This is a module provided by Psychology which I have opted to take as a minor subject.
5.30pm: Now for some fun! Some friends and I head to play table tennis at Kelsey Kerridge Sports Centre
7.30pm: We’re back in College for our 'Formal Hall'. It’s basically a three-course meal that we have to wear our College gowns to
9pm: Doing some wider reading based off today’s lectures. Can’t go without this in third year!
