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....

Unlike Oxford with tons of shops and brand eats, Cambridge is uniquely nestled among old houses, traditional side streets, markets and tiny bridges! Cambridge has an established Victorian-esque like rambling garden & path type experience. During the warm months a visitor may, besides walking the halls and lecture rooms, also take a wood 'punt', or raft (canoe) along the 'Cam' River. Cambridge is spread out. Wear sneakers.

Makes me think about the differences between genies and academics. One grants wishes, the other wishes for grants. Tickets purchased for 9 pounds in the shop across the road. 25 if you want a guide, which seems more than a bit excessive. Even 9 is a bit too much given that you can only enter one building, which is the chapel. The courtyard is quite impressive though and the buildings are full of so much academic history. The chapel is quite impressive and basically what you are paying for. The ceiling has a very elaborate design. So much stained glass, I learnt that one of the ingredients for the coloured glass is dry urine. How did they come up with this? Some guy went, You know what would make this colour more vibrant, a 5 day old pee puddle off the floor from the bathroom! There are smaller rooms to the side of the main chapel where you can learn the history of the building, the construction and Kings behind it. Some of it is very detailed and technical, I need like a 5th grader synopsis version, sadly I think my take away from the informational signs was that part about dry urine being used to make coloured glass. I also learnt that students back in the day were not allowed to watch plays or keep pets or basically do anything fun, if they did they were beaten and not given any food.

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!

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.
