Classic Cambridge

Cambridge is so much more than a prestigious centre of learning! This lively city has lots of attractions to keep students busy outside the classroom. From punting on the river cam to college tours, Cambridge offers the perfect balance of the historical and modern to language students from all over the world.

Classic Cambridge is extremely well located, with residential accommodation and junior centres within a 10 minute walk of the city centre. Most activities are held in the centre of Cambridge and students staying at Jesus College don’t need bus passes!
