Summary
MCR stands for Middle Combination Room. In analogy with the JCR (Junior Combination Room) for Undergraduates and the SCR (Senior Combination Room) for Fellows, this means the entire Graduate Student Body of the College, i.e. the College's Graduate Student Union.
Description
MCR can also refer to the Graduates' Common Room or the MCR committee - an elected group of students who represent graduate student views in the college and university.
The graduate community at Murray Edwards is small, friendly and oh-so-much fun!!! These web-pages would guide you through all the facilities provided by the college to the graduates and the exact procedure to avail these facilities.
