Last Friday, we had the opportunity to attend the University of Cambridge’s Open Day. It gave us an insight into the daily lives of Cambridge students and their surroundings. During our day, current students led us on guided tours around their colleges, showing us what life at Cambridge is really like.

We were also able to speak with student representatives and ask subject-specific questions to students currently enrolled in the course. To our surprise, some misleading perceptions about Cambridge were quickly dismissed, as the students and professors were extremely passionate, yet humble about their experiences at Cambridge.

We also had discussions with various admissions teams at multiple colleges, giving us unparalleled insight into Oxbridge applications.

Walking through the historic courtyards and seeing the amazing facilities was extremely inspiring, and the trip has certainly reinforced our thoughts about applying to Cambridge.
