CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Dec. 6, 2024 — Looking up at the Tudor-style towers of the University of Cambridge’s St John’s College and its stained glass windows feels like stepping back in time to 1511, the year of its founding, far away from 2024.

The city and university  exude a timeless charm with their historic landmarks with breathtaking architecture. In this video, wander through Cambridge’s bustling paved streets, soak in the festive holiday market, glide along the River Cam on a punt, and explore the iconic St John’s and Murray Edwards Colleges, with insights from a current MPhil in Population Health Sciences student offering a glimpse into academic life.
