Cambridge is perfectly situated to explore the area around it. London is just 3/4 hrs. by train away. Cambridge is a lively city and it has been a pretty good experience to live there for a while. Just go and enjoy it!

Campus housing seems to be more for the party-people. Alhtough i dont mind a part once in a while, i wouldnt want to be in an ever-ongoing party....even during the exams.
