Social LifeOnce you go through a few prospectuses, you realise that every college calls itself ‘friendly’ at some point, and Emma is no exception. However, life at Emma genuinely is friendly — thanks partly to the best and cheapest bar in Cambridge, a wealth of societies, and a shared appreciation of our beloved ducks.
Societies and Sport
It’s really easy to get involved in societies, simply because there are so many! If you’re into music, there’s the choir, the music society, and there are rooms with pianos and drums available to hire. There’s REDS, our drama society, who put on several productions a year, and there’s EmmaART for the creative people among us.
Entertainment in Emma
Every Wednesday, Emmanuel hosts Funk Da Bar, a popular night featuring accomplished DJs playing whole range of music styles from Afrobeat to Drum’n’Bass to Hip Hop. On random Fridays we also have Indie in d Bar which is our alternative music night. In our old library we hold very cool jazz nights, and then 3 times a term, the notorious bar extensions, featuring cheesy music, themed outfits, and general debauchery.
Cambridge Clubs
Cambridge itself has 4 main clubs. Although cheese is undeniably the favoured music style among students, it’s easy to avoid if it’s not your thing and there are loads of different venues offering different music styles.
