Is Cambridge the right enviroment for me?

I've always wanted to go to a school which has a very academic enviroment i.e. Do students frequently have intellectual discussions such as (and I'm spitballing here) the possibilities of the events of Jurrasic Park happening now or in the future?
Whenever I try to have any such discussion at my school, they look at me like I'm crazy. My brother loves science way more than I do and talks about it a lot, and is mockingly called 'Science'
Also, are there any other unis that have that sort of enviroment.

In the first year, me and my friends had loads and loads of these at Cambridge. As the difficulty of the work increased, we fell off a bit :P

You can do tons of 'intellectual discussions' with your supervisors and fellow student/s at supervisions. That's the one of most important and main feature of supervisions.
But in daily life with your friends, they usually talk about something not too academic, as the work at Cambridge is so intense and demanding, I think most prefer some breaks from it in their free time.
But that sort of thing will probably depend on what sort of people you hang around with, obviously....
Though if you ask whether Cambridge is academic, there aren't many universities in uk as academic as cambridge.

Are there any other uni that are also very academic?

I suppose a lot of it depends on which college you go to and who your friends are. But at my college, people have intellectual discussions a lot! Like over dinner people will be discussing philosophy, history, astronomy and so forth. It really surprised me when I got here! So yeah, Cambridge is definitely a great environment for that.
