Meet our students
As a medical student, I’m one of the frequent library dwellers, and Clare’s Forbes Mellon Library is such a lovely and warm environment to work in, conveniently placed in the middle of Memorial Court! I live in Castle Court this year, and it’s really nice to cycle to Memorial Court in the afternoon with some friends, work for a couple of hours, before a walk through the beautiful Old Court and over Clare bridge to enjoy a Buttery dinner (especially roast on Sundays!).
