Essential Carols (The Very Best Of King's College Choir Cambridge) - King's College Choir

Fit for a king

Advantages: Wonderful English gothic architecture
Disadvantages: Getting there

one very narrow street into another equally narrow. It took him about six goes, by which time he had attracted an admiring crowd. Spending a weekend is a possibility; after all there's lots to see in Cambridge, not just King's College Chapel. Unfortunately, I recently read of a survey of "black holes" in reasonable city centre accommodation. Guess what came top. Correct. Cambridge. So is it just too much effort? Well if you think so then this review has failed. If they managed to build something like this five hundred years ago, it shouldn't be beyond the ability of 21st century man and woman to at least get there. And admire. Details: Entrance fees are £4.50 for adults, £3 for children and concessions. Free entry to local residents and members of the university who can also take in two guests. An audio tour is £2 ...

Review of King's College Chapel Cambridge

The Colleges of Cambridge University

Advantages: High scholastic standards. Many are beautiful
Disadvantages: Very competitive

Peterhouse Peterhouse is the oldest college in Cambridge and very traditional, being one of the last colleges to go mixed.I am told the admission of women was met with much reluctance !

Review of Cambridge University

Kings College London

Advantages: Good teaching, heart of London, very modern
Disadvantages: Expensive, too many students

I chose King's College becasue of it's good reputation, and after visiting it for the first time, it's impressive, high- tech buildings equipped with the latest computers and equipment. Of the 4 campuses, I find that Waterloo and Guy's campus are the most pleasant and modern. Worst of all is the Strand campus, a network of old and new buildings, very grim and easy to get lost in.
