Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 10

Wednesday marked the halfway point in our three weeks here at Cambridge, and what an amazing time we’ve had already!

This afternoon, the Leadership team had…

Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 9

Another fun-filled, inspiring and unique day at Reach Cambridge has come to an end, with a jaw-dropping total of more than £2600 being raised for the charity SABRE during the charity auction this evening.

Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 8

Due to an extremely busy weekend, the students and staff were treated to a well-deserved lie in, with lessons being pushed back to 10am.

Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 7

No trip to England would be complete without visiting London. Today was the first of two trips to the capital, with a chance to experience a couple of the city’s museums, as well as one of its most famous department stores. Students visited either the Science Museum or the Victoria and Albert Museum, both housing very different,…

Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 6

As it’s summer, we like our students to experience the great British seaside, and where better to do that than Brighton?

Brighton’s popularity continued to grow over the…

After classes the students gathered to hear about what will be an eventful weekend: we’re off to Brighton on Saturday and London on Sunday. Many expressed their interest in the British seaside but put their curiosity…

Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 3

Today, the students became properly familiarised with the concept of the ‘English summer’… Grey clouds have loomed and released their gloomy loads over the city, yet the Reach Cambridge spirit remained undampened! This morning, the Law class took part in a mock trial (complete with judge’s wig and a jury of supervisors). Then at lunchtime,…

Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 2

Today was the second full day at Reach and it was just as busy at the first! After a good breakfast at our colleges (Christs, Downing and Trinity Hall) everyone went to their second day of classes beginning at 9am. Students are taking hugely varied classes, from Journalism and Media to Computer Science and Physics….

Reach Cambridge July 2016: Day 1

We’ve had a busy day here at Reach – everyone started bright and early for breakfast in college, after which it was off to the first classes of the program! The students were guided to their various classrooms (which were in Trinity Hall, Downing College and Downing Site), met their teachers and got their first…

Reach Cambridge 2015: Kiara’s experience

In this blog, Kiara looks back at her time in Cambridge on our 2015 summer program: Spending three weeks living in Cambridge with Reach was undoubtedly one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had, and one that even months on I’m still reeling from. First and foremost, Cambridge is an unbelievably beautiful historical city….
