After an hour and a half train ride to the University of Cambridge, we stepped into a town of full of historic, Harry Potter-like brick buildings, charming streets, and tourists galore {I'm pretty sure we encountered more tourists than actual students}. One thing was for sure: the campus is unlike Dayton, Duquesne, or any other college campus I've been to in the United States.
The best way to view the campus is to go punting {boating} along the canal. Much like any other college campus in the United States, there isn't much else to do besides this activity. However, unlike the United States, or unlike Dayton {I should only speak for the school I am familiar with}, this tour just shows you the outskirts of the campus {while also enjoying a drink of your choice!}, since you cannot go into the buildings and gardens around the buildings since they are closed to visitors.
