If I can't come to an Open Day, can I visit Selwyn College at another time?
Yes, of course. If you're in Cambridge at any other time, just come to our Porters' Lodge at the College's main entrance on Grange Road and mention to the Porter on duty that you're thinking of applying to Selwyn. They will have copies of the College prospectus available, and will be able to give you advice on showing yourself around the College grounds.
