If you are struggling then perhaps it would be better to leave it blank. It is only optional after all!

Help pls?? Does it need to be college or cambridge specific
Hi, I've written mine about Cambridge in general as there is always a chance you can have an interview at a different college. I've spoken more about the maths course than Cambridge itself

I said a bit about how i like maths and then a bit about the course modules and how i like the diversity. I'm just thinking about whether i need to comment on the teaching system and the location?
Try not to repeat things that are in your personal statement. Maybe say something about the supervision system. It isn't that big of a thing so don't worry if you don't write a lot
