I have always been undecided whether i actually want to go to Cambridge or not. So please could you tell me and others reasons why Cambridge is great, or why it is a place to avoid. If you can be bothered, then read the rest of my post (i say bothered because i hate reading).
I have heard many people say Cambridge will set you up for life, it is the best university in the UK and the world, the fellows and teaching staff are great. However i have also heard people say Cambridge is hell, and you are worked really hard constantly, everyone is very competitive, if you are bottom of the class you are worthless, nobody has a social life, there are hardly any bars and so on. So what is it like really, ideally i want to hear from people at Cambridge and who have been to Cambridge, but all comments are welcome. The reason i post this now is because i have received an offer which i am capable of, and so if i want i can go to Cambridge. One hour i am thinking - wow, i can go to Cambridge. The next, i am thinking - Cambridge, i want to relax and have a good time at uni, not work the whole time. I apologise to those people who didn't get offers and really wanted to go to Cambridge, but i just wanted to know really what Cambridge is like. There is a 80% chance i will go to Cambridge happily. If there is anyone who declined a Cambridge offer please post as well.
