Thank you for your feedback
Supervisions are great Great facilities - almost 24/7 libraries Great internet speeds - gigabyte Ethernet Worst - lots of time pressure in general
Lecturers can vary wildly from great to terrible and hard to follow Lecturers are always happy to take questions at the end Handouts can be a hit and miss
Some colleges are very far from groceries etc If you live close to town centre it’s perfect for shopping and partying etc
Selwyn cripps court has great heating/ insulation (to a fault in winter) En-suite rooms but somewhat expensive Cambridge uni college halls are a little hit and miss but good overall (Downing has amazing accommodation)

Best aspect of university is the whole, holistic feel of it in general and the exhilaration of knowing that you’re at university, actively trying to change your life for the better. Cambridge is by far one of the best universities to study at because it offers top of the range facilities accessible to all students at all time. It could be improved by the workload, it seems as though there is this constant 24/7 stress.
Quite enjoyable and fun overall. Can work in teaching which I’d love to do. The hours in general of the lectures are quite long and tedious.
Great community.
Thank you for your feedback
Best thing is opportunities worst is high work load

Beautiful but expensive
Great central but expensive
Thank you for your feedback
Cambridge is a great place to study with a wide range of facilities. There is a lot of support from academics with supervisions to go over anything that you didn’t understand in the lectures. There is a wide range of sport to try and at any level. Can play sport for your college or on the university level. In terms of nightlife every college has a bar which have very cheap drinks, there are lots of pubs if you fancy something different. Clubbing-wise, there are 4 clubs in the city centre each offering different student nights.
Chemical Engineering has a high number of contact hours with approximately 12 hours of lectures and 3 supervisions each week, with some weeks having labs as well. The department offers free tea each day which allows you to socialise with people on your course. For the most part the lecturers are good and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for your feedback
Very academically successful.
Very good lectures, sometimes limited variety
Thank you for your feedback
The Cambridge workload is often a source of discouragement, but when you learn the right balance, you start to see the good side. From an academic viewpoint, you have unparalleled access to those at the top of their field (as well as those who will be in the future). A huge range of societies at college level allow for beginner entry into activities and those at university level allow you to expand on the close friends you initially make within your college, finding people with the same unique interests as you. This is all on top of the mindset that studying at one of the oldest universities in the world brings.
It is widely recognised that Cambridge is one of the best places in the world to study mathematics. The varied delivery of the course, with engaging lectures to initially learn the content, challenging problem sheets that make you engage with the material and fully solidify your understanding of it, and then supervisions, 2-on-1 time with a leading academic to fully ensure you have no issues alongside the huge unparalleled opportunity for specialism in what you want to do later in the course really makes Cambridge the place to be.
Thank you for your feedback
Its a uni for rich people, I have no money and just surrounded by insane wealth is pretty gross at times but also rich people lead nice lives and even though don't live that live nice to watch people that do sometimes even if disgusting
Great course, brutal hours as teaching all day everyday and then catching up on course stuff on weekends so never have time off
