Questions about coming to Cambridge and walking around the grounds on your own?

"All of the current students were really friendly and approachable."
"I found the College tour particularly enjoyable because it gave us a real insight into college life. The Directors of Studies talks were also really useful because they told us what they are looking for and gave us more information about the courses which are unique to Cambridge."
