CAMBRIDGE
"Where is the university?" is a question that many visitors to Cambridge ask, but no one can give them a clear answer, for there
is no wall to be found around the university. The university is the city. You can find the classroom buildings, libraries, museums and
offices of the university all over the city. And most of its members are the students and teachers or professors of the thirty-one colleges.
Cambridge was already a developing town long before the first students and teachers arrived 800 years ago. It grew up by the river
Granta, as the Cam was once called. A bridge was built over the river as early as 875. In the fourteen and fifteen centuries more and more
land was used for college buildings. The town grew much faster in the nineteen century after the opening of the railway in 1845.
Cambridge became a city in 1951 and now it has the population of over 100,000. Many young students want to study at Cambridge.
