Sidney Sussex College (often informally shortened to just Sidney) was founded in 1596 and named after its foundress, Lady Frances Sidney, Countess of Sussex.
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 Sussex has a proud history in the television show University Challenge, putting together a winning team in both 1971 and 1978 (final broadcast in 1979).

 Sidney Sussex College
Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University, is known as Sidney Sainsbury's for good reason.
Other reasons you might want to consider taking your degree at Sidney, is for it's small, friendly atmosphere, it's cheap student-run college bar (that looks like a Swedish sauna, but we'll gloss over that), and overall it is a jolly nice place to spend three or more years of your life.
Sidney doesn't have the Cam running through our grounds and can't afford massive fireworks displays like Trinity and St Johns, but we still have a damn good time, and everyone enjoys themselves.
