St Edmund's is one of the most international colleges with students from more than 50 countries. The full spectrum of academic subjects is represented in the College. The Fellowship of the College (academic staff) represents many academic disciplines, spread across arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, medicine, and especially veterinary medicine.


According to its promotional materials, the college is known for its friendly atmosphere [citation needed], which reflects its history and traditions. Whilst Fellows at most colleges in the University dine on 'High Table' (separately from the students), St Edmunds has no such division, and undergraduates, postgraduates and Fellows alike mix over dinner and other social activities. In fact, Fellows and Masters are even known to put on a pantomime for students every year in the college Combination Room (CR).


In keeping with almost all Colleges in Cambridge, St Edmund's has a chapel for Christian worship. In Cambridge St Edmund's is unique in following the Roman Catholic tradition rather than the Anglican tradition.


The college is sometimes informally called 'Eddies' or 'Ed's'.
