What is the JCR?

The JCR (Junior Common Room) is the undergraduate community in John Snow College, for students studying here for their 3 or 4-year courses. It is run by a committee of elected student officers. It is entirely self-governed and is in charge of its finances and activities. The JCR endeavours to provide an inclusive and vibrant environment, which promotes support and community spirit.
