From the experience of my daughter, I must say that I think Cam lives up to its reputation as a very, very serious place with lots of play and activities. She sang in the chorus on tour around the world, was in clubs, and made really great friends. Most important, she worked phenomenally hard and left not only still in love with her subject but expert in it. I am sure she could have had a similar experience elsewhere, but I doubt she would have had the intimacy she experienced in her tutorials and peers that valued achievement like she does. It wasn't all easy, but she grew immensely as a person.
