Description of the University of Cambridge
The University of Cambridge is almost 800 years old and is considered one of the world“s most prestigious universities. It is composed of 31 colleges that decide independently about a student“s admission to university and have their own curricula and course offerings. Three of them are intended for women only, two of them for graduate students only. Though every college is autonomous and has its own rules and statutes, they are all administered by a central university institution that also determines the admission requirements and controls the colleges“ regulations. The university and the colleges together offer many amenities for the students such as computer labs, libraries, lecture theaters or materials. The colleges are the social centers since they offer accommodation, meal service, sports sites, and student activities that are organized by several clubs and organizations. Furthermore, students can take up academic or personal counseling services, financial support or medical services. The teaching system, where students are instructed by tutors in small groups is highly recognized. But they also have to work a lot: They must deliver a five-page essay once a week during the first year and even twice a week in their second year. A tutor assesses these to see if a student is able to work scientifically. Spare time activities function as a compensation, and every student should attend at least one of the student clubs that exist for almost all areas of interest.

Summer School students have the opportunity to live in one of the Cambridge Colleges working in conjunction with the International Summer Schools and participants from more than one Summer School might be housed in the same college. This enables you to meet fellow students from a wide range of backgrounds and interests and also allows partners or friends who are attending different programmes to be accommodated near to one another.

Accommodation is in very basic, single bed-sitting rooms with washbasins.
With the exception of the no-meals options at Newnham College, and the bed and breakfast option at Harvey Court, accommodation includes bed, breakfast and a three-course evening meal.
