Cambridge aka: Cantabrigia

It has been possible to get accommodation in some Universities and Colleges out of term time for a while. However I find www.universityrooms.co.uk a bit better than most previous sites, in that it provides good information and tips about the places it covers, which include Cambridge.

I wanted to go as an exchange student. I was signed up to go at Ohlone until they canceled the program due to funding. I looked into it at CSUB but they only pick two students every year out of all 23 campuses combined to go, and I can’t compete with that. So, until I find another way to travel…

Like Oxford, beautiful colleges to visit and lots of history. But with a smaller-town feel. Do go punting on the river if you can!

I have spent the last three years in this city and I have to say that I absolutely hate it. It’s small but at the same time noisy, dirty, crowded with tourists, students, bikes, homeless people… There’s always some construction going on and the whole place is just absolutely chaotic. There are about two or three colleges worth visiting and King’s parade is certainly the best part of the city (not my taste though)... Apart from this little half-mile strech there is nothing more to see. Of course, if you’re interested in snobs and rich kids and where they spend there time ‘studying’ (yeah sure…) then Cambridge is definitely something for you. By the way, this is not just my opinion as the majority of my friends feel the same about this place. So, it’s just not worth it. Save your money or if you want to travel then go to Hungary. There are a lot of beautiful places there but what’s more important: REAL PEOPLE and not a bunch of faggots like here.
