Whats up with Cambridge University?

Question

Im not going to say I found something interesting there. Really I was wondering if anyone out there thought there was anything significant about Cambridge that they'd like to share?

Answer 1

Meh, i currently study at Birmingham, and frankly i've never cared for either of the Oxbridge uni's. Its just steeped in Middle English hypocrisies..real education, and real learning, comes from the cities, the places where the majoirty go, not to some elitist cliche, where being either pretencious and capable of remembering exam papers, or being foreign and rich, can earn you a degree

Answer 2

The University of Cambridge is rich in history - its famous Colleges and University buildings attract visitors from all over the world. But the University's museums and collections also hold many treasures which give an exciting insight into some of the scholarly activities, both past and present, of the University's academics and students.


The University of Cambridge is one of the oldest universities in the world and one of the largest in the United Kingdom. Its reputation for outstanding academic achievement is known world-wide and reflects the intellectual achievement of its students, as well as the world-class original research carried out by the staff of the University and the Colleges.

Many of the University's customs and unusual terminology can be traced to roots in the early years of the University's long history, and this booklet looks to the past to find the origins of much that is distinctive in the University of today.
