- Sidney Sussex College (often referred to informally as 'Sidney') is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, England. The college was founded in 1596 and named after its foundress, Frances Sidney, Countess of Sussex. It was from its inception an avowedly Puritan foundation: some good and godlie moniment for the mainteynance of good learninge. Oliver Cromwell was among the first students (although his father became ill and he never graduated), and his head is now buried beneath the College's chapel. While the College's geographic size has changed little since 1596, the exterior of the original E-shaped building was changed significantly in the 1830s under the leadership of Master Chafee. By the early 1800s the building's original red brick was aging poorly. This also coincided with a brief revival of gothic architecture. It was decided then that the exterior brick would be covered with a layer of cement and given the appearance of a castle. The college is nicknamed 'Sidney Sainsbury's' by neighbouring Cambridge students, due to its proximity to the Sidney Street branch of Sainsbury's, frequented by Cambridge students from all colleges thanks to its central location. Sidney student population is relatively small with roughly 350 undergraduate students and 190 graduates. Academically speaking, Sidney Sussex has, of late, tended towards a mid-table position in the unofficial Tompkins Table (placing 14th out of 29 in 2008). However, the college has traditionally excelled in certain subjects, notably Engineering, History and Law. Sidney's sporting performance is unexceptional, although it currently has strong women's football and netball teams, and performs well at darts. The college is musically strong, its alumni including Al Doyle (1998) and Felix Martin (1999) of the electronic band, Hot Chip — lead guitar and percussion/keyboards respectively. The college claims to have the cheapest bar in Cambridge, which is one of the few student-run bars in Cambridge University, a source of much pride for Sidney students. Clare, Darwin, Downing and Emmanuel Colleges also have student-run bars. In the television show University Challenge, Sidney Sussex had a winning team in both 1971 and 1978–79. The 1978 team, comprising John Gilmore, John Adams, David Lidington, and Nick Graham, went on to win the "Champion of Champions" University Challenge Reunion competition in 2002.
- El Sidney Sussex College (por lo general llamado sólo Sidney) fue fundado en 1596 y llamado en honor a su fundadora, Frances Sidney, Condesa de Sussex. Es uno de los 31 colleges que constituyen la Universidad de Cambridge. Desde sus inicios fue una fundación puritana: un buen monumento para el mantenimiento del buen aprendizaje. Oliver Cromwell estuvo entre los primeros estudiantes (aunque su padre cayó enfermo y nunca se graduó), y actualmente su padre está enterrado en la capilla del college. Mientras que el tamaño original del college ha cambiado poco desde su fundación en 1596, el exterior del edificio original con forma de E cambió significativamente en la década de 1830 bajo la dirección de Chafee. Para principios de la década de 1800, el ladrillo rojo original del edificio fue envejeciendo. Esto coincidió con un breve período de renacimiento de la arquitectura gótica. Se decidió entonces que el ladrillo exterior sería cubierto con una capa de cemento para darle apariencia de castillo. Los estudiantes vecinos del colleges le pusieron el mote de “Sidney Sainsbury’s”, debido a su proximidad con la tienda que hay en Sidney Street, frecuentada por los estudiantes de Cambridge debido a su localización central. La cantidad de estudiantes es relativamente pequeña con alrededor de 350 estudiantes y 190 estudiantes de postgrado. Académicamente hablando, el Sidney Sussex tiene un papel bueno aunque no excepcional comparado con otros colleges de Cambridge (situándose en el puesto 12 de 29 en el ranking no oficial de la Tompkins Table 2007). Sin embargo, ha sido tradicionalmente excepcional en algunas asignaturas, Ingeniería, Historia y Derecho. Las actuaciones en deporte son igualmente excepcionales, aunque presume de tener buenos equipos de fútbol femenino y netball, hace buenas actuaciones en dardos. El college presume de tener el bar más barato de Cambridge, que es uno de los pocos que está dirigido por estudiantes, una fuente de orgullo para los estudiantes del Sidney. El Clare, el Darwin, el Downing y el Emmanuel Colleges también tienen bares dirigidos por estudiantes. El Sidney Sussex tiene una orgullosa historia en el programa de televisión University Challenge, habiendo llevado un equipo ganador en las ediciones de 1971 y 1978-79. El equipo ganador de 1978, formado por John Gilmore, John Adams, David Lidington y Nick Gram. , ganaron la competición University Challenge Reunion “Champions of Champios”.
