Tour of St Catharine's College, Cambridge

In this video, I’ll give you a full tour of St Catharine’s College (Catz), Cambridge.
I hope to make this as useful as I can by showing you:
- All the applicable bits if you’re a prospective undergraduate or graduate student
- The college in both summer and winter
- The new hall (which isn’t in any of the old videos!)
- Some realistic 1st year undergraduate accommodation (actually where I used to live!)
This video should also give you a more honest angle of the college (that isn’t just for propaganda/ promotion purposes!). I’ve studied here for the last four years, so I’ve seen a lot of it - including both onsite and offsite accommodation, the dreaded building works, and how college has transformed over this time.
These are the main sections that I’m going through:
- Entrance and porter’s lodge (plodge)
- Main court
- The NEW dining hall (+ new garden room)
- Chapel
- Bar
- Libraries (Sherlock and Shakeshaft)
- Student bodies (JCR and MCR)
- Boring but essential bits (laundry, showers, trunk rooms)
- Sherlock court (+ my 1st year accommodation)
I hope this is useful to you guys. Also, I’m intrigued: what’s your favourite part of college? Do you prefer Catz in summer or winter?

Also just wanted to say there is a gym too! When I was filming this I was definitely not in my ✨fitness era✨ and forgot we had one.

Hi maria i watched your a level history video and it was really helpful! i was wondering if you could show an example of how you planned essays for revision because my plans seem to take too much time😭

[@mariaizmirlieva]

Really glad you found it helpful! The main way I’d tackle the plans is by coming up with a topic sentence for each main paragraph (3-4 of these). The way I decided what to have each paragraph on was by imagining the essay title was a 3 mark question that required 3 bullet points to be answered. Then from there, I could flesh out these points (based on content from the textbook) if I wanted to, but I could just leave it as the basic structure if I felt confident with the content. It’s also handy to write relevant dates/ stats/ possibly interpretations from historians that would be key for that paragraph. I’d then just have a 1 sentence summary of your argument to represent what you’d say in the conclusion. Hope this helps x
