The chances of admission into Cambridge university is very low and that makes it really difficult for students to be admitted. There are a lot of hurdles in the school ranging from the struggle to succeed academically to pressure from all angles. The course was more difficult than expected.

The hype around Cambridge is really justified once you start schooling here, high academic standard and excellence. The standard of science is very excellent, and the academic environment is both friendly and challenging.
Great professors too. The option I ever made was to school here.

Pros

– Access to brilliant people who are leaders in their field.
– Small-sized supervisions are a great way to iron out any difficulties you’re having with the course content.
– Guaranteed on-campus accommodation for all 3 years of your undergraduate course.
– Subsidised cost of food and accommodation (Trinity College).
– Great career prospects.
– Free subscriptions to several legal databases.
– Very safe.

Cons

– Very limited racial diversity.
– Supervisors and lecturers tend to be distant, not really interested in knowing the student.
– Limited time for socialising.

The type of life in Cambridge can really depend on what College you live in, but also what friends you choose to hang out with and what societies you choose to be part of. My experience has so far been very positive: the town is SO lovely, the people are bright and mostly very outgoing; the nightlife can be very enjoyable. Overall, the type of environment is very cosy, as you get to see familiar faces all around town; nonetheless, the town and community are big enough to make new experiences and meet new people every day.
