University of Cambridge

Uni of Cam gives you a unique experience but can be stressful - come if you love your subject and are ready to dedicate yourself to it.

Very intense and some resources are lacking but good level of contact hours and academic support. Welfare and access could be much better. Careers service is very good. I didn't pay to be part of the union but they have lots of events and talks.

I love Cambridge because of the numerous opportunities it provides, from extracurriculars to career conventions. It can be very stressful at times, hence only the four stars, but I could not imagine being anywhere else.

Supervisions really help to teach you everything you need to know, especially because they are usually in pairs so it's like having your own tutor. I do engineering and we have labs all the time that help to teach you the same content as lectures but with a practical approach. There's a mix of group labs and pair work so you get to try working with different people. The department also allows you to study a language but I haven't done this. The careers lady at the department is really good and will help you write cvs and get internships (a compulsory part of the course).

My uni has great over all factlices from the social life to the teachers. From it might lack in open space it makes up for in culture and ways of living

The campus is great as it's a collegate university, the colleges create a really friendly and supportive environment where it's easy to make friends. I study natural sciences, the course is incredibly intense and are times I think the work load is excessive, there are Saturday lectures! But the content is interesting and it provides a great grounding in science. I haven't made much contact with the student union or careers service really.

Mostly excellent course and great facilities. There is good support within colleges, however the stress imposed by the heavy workload is a con.

Although the workload is very intense, everyone here is extremely enthusiastic about their course subject and has a strong desire to learn more. Everyone is in on the same boat so even though it can be stressful at times, you know that everyone is feeling the same way and do not need to feel like you are behind.

The college and whole city is beautiful and a lovely place to live and the facilities are excellent, though often quite far out.

Cambridge is a great city with lots to offer. College life is great to make close friends and socialise. Facilities such as lecture theatres, labs and practical sessions are very good, and teaching is top class. If you can fit it in nightlife is also pretty good, with plenty of bars, pubs and clubs.

Tutors are brilliant, parties even better, always wanted to come here and it's really a dream come true. Would recommend Cambridge to anyone local or otherwise.

The work load is extreme. But people are great: very social and friendly. Night life isn't great but can be good sometimes. Plenty of things going on, sadly there isnt the time to do much due to the workload. Cambridge is a beautiful city and is very easy to navigate, overall great city for students.

The most beautiful campus in the world to be sure, and most of the teaching is great. The lecturers are amazing, however the supervision system would function better if the supervisors had some guidelines to follow, because as it is, it is completely up to them how they want to do the supervisions (what to talk about, what to teach us (clearly subjective in some cases)). My course is Human, Social and Political Sciences where the different papers papers go really well together. Cambridge is hard and don't respect students' well-being and mental stability enough. If the terms were longer, students might be able to keep up with all the work and still 'have a life', but as it is now, it is quite difficult to say the least. However, in the end, the experience is all worth it.
