Computing / Computer Science, Year 3
(5)·By Andreea Z·Computing· Jul 2021 Freshers week was mostly organised by College and it had a variety of events for all kinda of people, mixing people from all subjects. At the CS department we have only had one ice breaker activity in groups which was alright, nothing particularly good or bad about that. Almost everyone lives in their College's accommodation, either on or off site, and everyone in College accommodation lives alone (not sharing their room with anyone else). Some rooms have ensuite bathrooms, some rooms are sets (so bedroom + lounge), some accommodation blocks also have common rooms. There are many options at a range of prices, usually between £1000-2000 per term. Also varies by College Libraries are fantastic study spaces, both the College ones and the University one. Some departments also have great dept libraries, but not the Computer Science department. In terms of books, you can either find anything you need or ask for them to buy it. Student union is very strong. Sports areas are great and available upon paying a membership fee Intense both in depth and breadth, excellent dedicated lecturers, solid mix of theory and practice, great materials to learn from at most courses, fantastic supervision system. Supervisions are by far the best part of Cambridge undergrad. While there are also local people in the city, students spend most of their time in the student part of the city, around Colleges. It's great to see a lot of University people wherever you go, while also having a large variety of restaurants, cafes, shops
