    Study Abroad in England in the Famous University City of Cambridge!

     

     

    Cambridge is known throughout the world as the location of one of the world’s best universities, so it only follows that Cambridge should also be one of the best places to study abroad. There are certainly a good number of foreign language schools to choose from in Cambridge and the city is lively and interesting as well as being close enough to London to enjoy a day trip to the capital city.

     

     

    Where is Cambridge?



    Cambridge is in the county of Cambridgeshire in England and is about 50 miles (80km) north of London. It’s not a particularly large city with a permanent population of around 100,000 people but with all the university and foreign language students the population rises by around 22,000 during term time!

     

     

    The Tourist Attractions of Cambridge



    Cambridge is an ancient city which first grew as a Roman town. Around Cambridge there’s lots of evidence of occupation through different periods in history, making this a fascinating city if you’re interested in history and old buildings! Cambridge is best known as a university town though and looking around some of the old university buildings is what attracts many people to visit. There are lots of different colleges which all make up the university, and many have their own individual character.

     

    Cambridge also has a number of nice parks and open spaces which are great to enjoy in the summer, plus there are some very interesting museums here too. Punting along the river is also a very popular pastime in Cambridge!
