  • There are good bits and bad bits about where I live - here are a few of those! I live in Queens' College, Cambridge, in Old Court, which was built between 1448 and 1451. That means that, while the views are amazing, the accommodation is a bit... 'quirky', shall we say. Still, I love living here and I hope this fulfils your curiosities!
    I'm coming to the end of my time in Cambridge, so if you have anything you'd like to see while I'm here, now is the time to suggest it to me!

    I asked for the oldest dorm they had so I could get the ghosts of fifteenth-century monks to help me with my homework but they all said they didn't pay attention in lecture either, have to give it a 0/10

      Aww that's so so tragic, so lucky to have got a room with studious monk ghosts

      Thank you!!
      Pembroke is an absolutely beautiful college, one of the oldest, and in a really convenient location - I don't really know much that's negative about it to be honest

    I really can't believe so messy accommodation at cambridge 😏🙄
    Being a one of the best universities, four people sharing one shower room and a kitchen???? OMG how they can survive..... room and kitchen itself so tiny, I even can't imagine how to breathe in this tiny room. Stairs are so old, why they don't change these old stuffs.....??? I am pretty sure a normal university in third world country should have more better dormitory system than cambridge.
