Why
Cambridge?
Located only 45 minutes from London, Cambridge is home to the country’s
“other” great University. Rivalry between Oxford and
Cambridge and the two Universities is demonstrated annually at the
annual boat race on the Thames. Cambridge is full of cobbled streets
and busy markets, yet it is Cambridge’s tranquil, ageless
appearance which makes it so memorable and hard to match.
