Coffee breaks are at 11 and 4 and one occasionally bumps into well known scholars visiting or on their sabbaticals. Please do confirm with the library before turning up.

Only members of the University of Cambridge and Academic staff and research students from other universities can use it. Undergraduate and taught postgraduate students from other UK universities can apply to access the Library for reference during Cambridge vacations. Even if you can't get in, it is worth having a wonder round the site to be impressed by the sheer size of it. And why not keep walking and have a look around the Sidgwick site of the University of Cambridge - home to the Arts Faculties of the University.

Well, this time I will be talking about bar at Anglia Ruskin University. What I like about it -…read morethey serve my favourite red wine:) pretty good selection of drinks, student friendly prices. In general it would not be very different from any other bar, only probably the fact-that most of visitors are students, staff from what I gather-students as well, therefore I find friendly young people there, most of them have a lot in common and conversation about the best library will not freak them out. and -to me it worked perfectly, when after tense exam I wasnt t able to go anywhere else without a top up....

Primarily a facilities-related review…read more This is a beautiful little area of campus right near King's College chapel and the river Cam. I enjoyed its proximity to downtown without any of the hustle and bustle. The porters are generally very helpful and genuinely kind. The campus/dorm-associated dining commons, The Buttery, pumps out pretty good - albeit usually over-salted or redundant - food three meals a day. Being right by the Cambridge University Library is a definitely plus. Overall I give Clare a 4.5 - I didn't get to see inside any dorm buildings other than the W/V buildings we were staying in, but the dorm rooms seemed well-suited for one and poorly-suited for two. We were shoved in two to a room with below-average quality beds, one desk, and one closet. It could've been worse, but it's ass-old, and easily the least adorable thing about Clare College.

Unfortunately, Vladimir Nabokov said it best: "Not once in my three years of Cambridge - repeat:…read morenot once - did I visit the University Library, or even bother to locate it (I know its new place now), or find out if there existed a College library where books might be borrowed for reading in one's digs. I skipped lectures. I sneaked to London and elsewhere. I conducted several love affairs simultaneously. I had dreadful interviews with Mr Harrison. I translated into Russian a score of poems by Rupert Brooke, Alice in Wonderland, and Romain Rolland's Colas Breugnon. Scholastically, I might as well have gone up to the Inst. M. M. of Tirana." But the fault was not entirely V.N.'s. Books are hard to come by, and so are free-ranging intellectual conversations. It's a beautiful place with some wonderful people, but it's one of the most intensely un-academic places I've ever spent extended time.

Ahh...Pembroke will always hold a special place in my heart! So what if it's no King's…read morecollege...King's doesn't hold as many personal memories for me. Who could forget the weekly Harry Potter-style dinners on Fridays, wine receptions (how can you possibly complain when your uni. encourages wine consumption and even provides it for you!), ice cream bars from the dining hall, dinner parties on the lawn, and the Pembroke Blues! Oh and the locals staying in Pembroke that complained all the time about the "loud American students" (not me, I swear)...even they were great. Unlike Tom E. who may have found his college (Christ's College) "as dull as watching the shopping channel on 'screws and bolts' day", I can say I have nothing but love for Pembroke!

Pembroke College, founded in 1347 by Marie de St Pol, Countess of Pembroke, is the third oldest of…read morethe Cambridge colleges and the first to have its own Chapel. Despite being located in the middle of the city, Pembroke presents a tranquil environment with varied architectural styles framing open courts and beautiful gardens. Also home to perhaps one of the greater achievements of the last few years, where I managed to deliver a speech on being 'out' in the workplace, still reeling from the buzz! Great college, interesting bar culture ;-)
