Cambridge is More Than a University Town
Cambridge may be home to one of the world’s most revered universities but there's much more to this historic English town. With the picturesque River Cam running through its centre, Cambridge is as beautiful and it is fascinating. New restaurants and bars have invigorated its food scene, offering a blend of creativity and tradition. Welcome to Cambridge.

I sat talking to a group of bike thieves once (all sat on the grass in one of the parks) and they said they thought that bike theft was a standard part of the local economy "That's what Cambridge is about innit?"
Cambridge is so beautiful.
If you are lucky enough to pursue some academic studies or conduct important reasurches Cambridge University is the right place,for inspiration,perfectionism, professionalism...brains enrichment, the place for brilliant students, it's rather their paradise.

@@saptakmukherjee3051 There might be lower success rates for people of colour, but universities don't actively reject people based on ethnicity. Also, even though people of colour may have higher rejection rates, since many more white people apply due to Britain just being majority white, more white people are rejected in raw numbers. Meaning even if ethnic minorities are more likely to be rejected, any given rejectee is most likely to be white.

It's a classic 1930s building - kind of classical meets modernist. Yes, it might look more befitting of somewhere in America - but so does the Senate House in Cambridge. It's a Cambridge feature to be innovative. There are also fine examples of 1960s buildings in Cambridge which feels so much more alive as a result. Cambridge still looks stunning in a fairytale sense along The Backs. It does all fit together. It's not some cheap takeaway that's been knocked up.

Unless you're taking a subject which actually is a job (eg medicine) you're much better off doing an apprenticeship. Really grey and depressing place like living in a mausoleum for 3 years.

Then in neighbouring Norfolk lots of great country houses/ castles such as Holkham Hall, Houghton Hall, Oxburgh Hall, Blickling Hall, Castle Rising etc. not to mention the well preserved medieval city and Cathedral of Norwich.

Not sure where the Cambridge hate is coming from. Maybe the porters yelled at you for being on the grass when you were younger, although guessing you have not spent much time in Cambridge or Oxford. Both are incredible schools. If you don't want to use the Nobel Prize metric, then how about the endowment? Cambridge. How about most wins in the Varsity Match? In the Boat Race? I'm sure Newton, Darwin, Keynes, Turing, Rutherford, and Byron just hated themselves later in life for making the mistake of choosing Cambridge. Even Stephen Hawking wanted to stay in Cambridge over Oxford. What have you done with your supposed "Oxford connection" other than troll Cambridge videos on KZread?
