Welcome to Vanbrugh College

The Vanbrugh JCRC – the Junior Common Room Committee – is your elected body of students who look after your interests in Vanbrugh College. We manage college events, student wellbeing, communications and college societies, as well as representing you within the university.

Being part of the committee allows you to make real change to Vanbrugh and to shape the experience of you, your friends, and every Vanbrugh student during their time here. Membership of the committee gives you the chance to be involved in the organisation of a wide range of activities, from our massive events such as Freshers Week and Winter Ball, to smaller victories like gaining wheelchair access to the Warren. We are the only college to offer free collegiate sport (including sign ups, equipment and competition fees), and to have a diverse range of accommodation types. As well as this, we host weekly events in our college bar, The Vanbrugh Arms, and relaxing activities in the Warren most days. All of this has contributed to Vanbrugh being the most popular choice of college for incoming Freshers. As a committee member you can help us keep this up!

All of this is planned and run by students of Vanbrugh College, so that we can make our college the best it can be for ourselves and our collegiate family in the central college in York.
