We spent the morning at Churchilll College listening to a talk about the university and its admissions process. We were then treated to a guided tour of the campus including university buildings, sports facilities, bars and halls of residence, after which we enjoyed a two course lunch in the impressive dining hall.

In the afternoon, we walked past the Cambridge University Copyright library and into the city centre where we were given a tour around Pembroke College and St Catherine’s College. Both sites are extremely beautiful and impressive.

It was a fantastic day!
