“大学在哪里?”是许多去剑桥的游客会问的一个问题,但是没有一个人可以给出一个明确的答案,因为你找不到剑桥大学的围墙。这所大学就是一个城市。在城市里你到处都可以找到大学的教学楼、图书馆、博物馆和办公室。其成员主要是其下属的31个学院的学生、老师或者教授。
当800年前第一批学生和老师到来之时,剑桥已是一个发展中的城镇了。剑桥旁有一条名叫格兰塔的河,那河曾一度被称为康河。早在875年在河上建了一座桥。
在14和15世纪,越来越多的土地被用来建学院的楼房。1845年铁路开通之后,城镇在19世纪发展得更快。1951年剑桥发展成了一个城市,现在的人口已超过100,000。许多年轻的学生都想到剑桥去学习。来自世界各地的成千上万的人都来到这所大学城参观。它已经成为了一个举世闻名的地方。
