university of cambridge印象

You'd have to be a philistine or a snotty Mainland European snob to dislike Cambridge. The whole city is drenched in architectural glory and the colleges are beautiful,and certainly not 'shabby' as one reviewer puts. The centre is clean and there is plenty to see. It's far nicer than any city I've visited in other European countries,with friendlier people too

The colleges are small and shabby, they scattered everywhere so the whole thing is a bit messy, at least in my eyes.Everything including the chapels is charged, I know nothing about university's history after touring a round of its campus.And I am the most pissed off by the staff there, they were persuading me to go on punting, but when I refused them, they gave me a bad face immediately without saying anything else, I want to say this is really rude and upsetting.The only good thing about Cambridge is that River Cam and the greens are pretty, this is undoubtable. But overall, I am just not impressed by anything I saw in Cambridge, nothing really engaged me like when I was in other cities.

You can only sense the feeling that city blows. Perhaps the most traditional, academic historic, and beautiful city in England.

The University of Cambridge is not one building, rather mixture of over 30 colleges, plus departments, libraries and museums.Some of the reviews complain about college entrance fees; these are limited to a few of the larger and more famous colleges and many more are completely free. The colleges are all semi-independent of the University and therefore set their own individual rules, so there is a lot of variance from college to college. Bear in mind that each college is home to hundreds of people and should be treated as such, rather than as a relic or a museum. The architecture of the colleges is vast and varied, spanning a period over 800 years.As a tip, you ordinarily have to pay to see King's College's world-renowned chapel, but it is free if you go to choral evensong (plus you get to enjoy a free concert by a world renowned choir) - check tourist information or the sign at the college entrance for times.The museums are also free - highlights include the Fitzwilliam Museum (huge collection of art and antiquities), the newly revamped Museum of Archeology and Anthropology and the Scott Polar Museum. The Museum of Zoology will also be good once it reopens after its refurb. It is also often possible to attend exhibitions at the University Library, which is one of three copyright libraries housing every single book published in the UK, as well as some rarities.Some reviews mention punt touts - these are independent operators and in no way affiliated with the University - don't allow yourself to be harassed by them or ripped off - guided punt tours are often the best way to see some of the colleges you would have to pay to get into as a lot of the nice architecture is along the river and there are no public paths for many stretches, but be prepared to haggle significantly with the prices they offer as they are mainly motivated by filling the boats, especially in suboptimal weather or low season.NOTE: Exams occur between Easter and the end of June and the colleges are very strict about not allowing anyone other than their students inside so as not to disrupt revision. It is therefore strongly recommended that visitors wishing to go inside colleges visit outside of this period.

Food well presented. Good service for a banquet style meal. Building extra special. Only negative was the quality of the audio system

Go here every Christmas, stroll round the town, great regular shops as well as the College stuff. It is a shame that most of the attraction now charge admission after years of not doing so, was kind of put off by that...

The building structure felt brilliant to to watch.Unfortunately i was less intriguing after the first half hour of view the monuments.But is was still good for a good walk seeing the buildings.

Cambridge is one of Britain's most beautiful cities, thanks to its glorious university buildings and inspired architecture. Former students at university colleges include Sir Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking, plus a host of other hallowed names. It is fascinating to wander around these historic buildings, dreaming of the past and observing modern-day students following in the footsteps of the famous

There are so many colleges to visit in Cambridge - we managed to visit several of them. Some of the buildings are very old and interesting to explore.
