 Junior Common Room - TheBestLinks.com - University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, University of Durham, Student ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The term Junior Common Room is used in the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford and the University of Durham to refer to the collective of students (similar to a student union) at a constituent college of the university, as well as to a physical room set aside for the college students' use.
Typically, students at a college will elect a governing body for their JCR, referred to simply as the "JCR committee", "JCR bench", or "JCR Exec" (short for "Executive Committee").
At Oxford, this term is a misnomer: by the university's statute, graduate students are also junior members, and the term "middle member" is without meaning.
