Program 3: Summer 2018 – Day 7

Today our Reachers dived further into the rich history of Great Britain by visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of nobody less than William Shakespeare, and Warwick Castle, a massive stone fortress originally built by William the Conqueror. We made a great start by leaving right after an early breakfast, with packed lunches in our rucksacks. Our first…

Program 3: Summer 2018 – Day 6

It’s the weekend which, at Reach, means – excursions! Today everyone started the day just a little earlier so as to beat the traffic into London. This morning was spent split between two museums. Those interested in the arts and culture went to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London’s art and design museum, home to…

Program 3: Summer 2018 – Day 0!!

The new students have arrived! This afternoon we had 103 students descend on Cambridge from all corners of the world. They joined the four students who have remained with us from program 2, ambassadors for the incredible classes, activities and community that individuals can experience at Reach Cambridge. We look forward to finding out what…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 15

Two days of excursions can only ever lead to one thing, a well-deserved lie in. Follow this with a nice brunch at one of Cambridge’s many picturesque cafes and eateries, and you have a pretty perfect morning. That is exactly what the students of Reach Cambridge were treated to today. Considering the beautiful weather this…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 14

Another day, another excursion for the students of Reach Cambridge! We thought we’d add some variety to proceedings today, and we did not go to London. Instead we gave the students an experience quite unlike any other, and we headed to the Great British Seaside. The typical understanding of a trip to the seaside involves…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 13

Despite it only feeling like five minutes ago since Reach Summer 2018 began, our second round of weekend excursions has begun. The last week has been filled with fun, activities and learning, but it’s also been hard work, and so everyone was in need of some adventure. We at Reach Cambridge like to think that…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 7

Reachers across Cambridge were excited to wake up bright and early this morning to kick off our much-anticipated trip to London. With the sun shining brightly and balmy temperatures predicted for the day, tiredness from the previous day’s excursion was quickly forgotten, as the bus journey provided plenty of opportunity for napping! First stop was…

Program 1: Summer 2018 – Day 6

There’s nothing better, after a week of lectures and making new friends, than hopping on a bus and going somewhere new. Reach Cambridge likes to fill the weekends with exciting excursions to different tourist attractions throughout the country. Today, students were up bright and early for breakfast, then piled on a coach for a two…

The Royal Wedding: Cambridge and the Royals

The British royal family has long been linked with Cambridge. Royals have founded some of Cambridge University’s colleges: Queens’ College (dually founded by two rival queens), King’s College (in honour of Henry VI), and Trinity College (after perhaps England’s most famous King, Henry VIII). Royals built the city’s most famous landmark: the construction of King’s…

Guest Post: My Reach Cambridge Experience

We all want adventure but sometimes the idea of going abroad to study or travel without your family and friends can seem a little daunting. Rand studied English Literature and Performing Arts at Reach Cambridge in Summer 2017. It was her first experience of being properly away from home and thinking about what life might…
