Cambridge

I have absolutely loved doing my MPhil in Cambridge -- so much so that I've decided to stay another four years! It's a big enough town such that there is plenty to do outside of the university itself, but small enough that it still feels like a close-knit community. Also, its proximity to London means you can easily spend nights or weekends in the city. The only downside is the very high cost of living, especially when it comes to housing costs.

Food is amazing. For vegetarian people there is a variety of food you can try. Night life ends fast so don't like it so much. Shopping closes really soon every day so in the afternoon it is hard to find something to do besides bowling or going to the cinema.

Cambridge is a city that feels like your home town. Variety of shops and cafes/restaurants, all set amongst the beautiful colleges. Loads of interesting places to eat, and a handful of theatres so there's always something on. Smaller than you'd think, and lots of open green spaces when you get out of the centre.

I study st BPP in Cambridge and the location is so perfect. Albeit expensive, the array of things to do, places to see and all the restaurants and bars make it a great place to be when you’re a student. It’s the best of a city and town experience.

There are plenty of places to eat out or have drinks, including restaurants, bars and pubs. The nightlife is decent, however there are only 2-3 decent clubs. There are many events going and many things to see and do, especially over summer. You can go punting, further, there is an annual beer festival, strawberry fair, midsummer fair amongst many other events. Cambridge is a bike city, so make sure to get a bike, as it's the easiest way to get around. There are two main shopping centres with a good variety of shops.

Cambridge has good transport links, good pubs, parks and great history. Nights out could be better, however, could be worse! It can be a little pricey around Cambridge

The location of my university is in a perfect location! Easy to get to from where I live, right in the centre of the city! Bars, shops and beautiful fields are less than a 5 min walk! Easy to get to the bus station and train station so if I need to go home or to placement, it’s as simple as strolling in the sun!

Amazing place to be for history and quaintness. Feels very safe. Nightlife leaves something to be desired but is still fun as long as you like cheesy music. Lots of nice, if expensive, places to eat out and shopping.

Nice and cozy, nothing special but can cater for a lot of different tastes. I would recommend to most people.

Cambridge is a great location, always buzzing and there's loads to see and do! The architecture is beautiful, and there's many lovely places to visit and eat out at. There's also a huge range of shops, however Cambridge is more expensive than other towns.

Cambridge night life is okay, prefer London night life as they have more to offer. Would recommend ballare in Cambridge

Cambridge has a lot to do. Firstly, it is absolutely beautiful especially with the canals that you can punt down all year long. The shopping is a big attraction as it has two main shopping centres; the grafton and the grande arcade. Both of which have all the main high street stores such as topshop, h&m, new look, lush and many more. There is also a wide variety of places to eat which vary in price - there’s the typical McDonald’s and subway and then places such as yo sushi and the market place too.

Nightlife in Cambridge is plentiful, with a range of clubs, bars and pubs to visit. The clubs in Cambridge suit a range of genres and music preferences, which makes it difficult to not find one you like. As for pubs, overall they are in the expensive side, however are very welcoming and comfortable. During the day there is an unlimited number of activities to do from punting along the river Cam to visiting the university grounds. Overall Cambridge is a great location as there is so much to do and it is close to London and multiple airports,

So beautiful and picturesque, especially in the summer or snow. No filter needed to make this place look stunning!

Cambridge is a beautiful area to be in. I have chosen their university and I am super excited. Their city centre is full of amazing shops, the people seem lovely and I love that people are mostly riding bikes around instead of cars.

Too small way too white. It's an amazing city if you like a cosy quite way of life. There not that many places to go on a night out with only 3 main night club, cindies does not count it is more of a high school disco... Food if probably the best part alot of good Asian restaurant. North of Cambridge is dead south Cambridge is rife with a mixture of people smack heads and middle class people. So yeah...

Cambridge is a lovely area full of culture and history. There are a number of museums to visit such as the fitzwilliam museum, displaying variations of art and cultural artefacts. Everything is within walking distance. However, should you wish to make use of the buses, they can sometimes be unreliable.

Cambridge offers something for everyone, whether you enjoy going clubbing, sitting in a pub or going for a walk along the river. There are plenty of options for food, and many different shops. which range in price, for shopping. If you own a bike it takes 5-15 minutes to get to most places.

Everything is very close, it is easy to walk everywhere. It is quite a small city so there isn't much to do but this doesn't affect me as a student. The food and shopping are brilliant and very easy to access by foot.

Cambridge is a cute quirky town that is small enough for freshers to navigate themselves around without problems and large enough to have a large range of cafes, restaurants and small unique shops. However there is a lack of entertainment such as bowling, cinemas and other exciting venues for students so it can get a little boring. The town is very pretty and thee are always plenty of tourists. There is only 1 supermarket in the town centre which is Sainsburys for students' grocery shopping which is pretty expensive and not the best value for money. If you are on a hill college there is an Aldi close by which is far cheaper.
