Ana Luísa, Architecture
Saudi Arabia doesn’t really have communities from non-native races anywhere, so this experience was quite fresh and really amazing. I’m really glad I met the people I met here; I feel genuine connections with them, and I hope this isn’t the last time we’ll see each other. The Academic side was also satisfactory, I knew...

I came here to study Politics and new my education would be good but didn’t have as high hopes for the social and fun aspects of the camp based on past experiences at summer camps. I was very much proven wrong. This camp has been very fun, I have gotten to meet people from all...

It was a great experience, I learnt so much in the course I chose, as well as about other topics not related to my course in the evening’s lectures. I also got to meet so many new friends from all around the world from in my corridor and in my classes.
Annabelle, Architecture
The people here are so great, and you learn so much from the classes. The way that you end up knowing everybody from the camp but form a really strong connection between your corridor and collage was the best part in my opinion.
Bennett, Architecture
Reach Cambridge is easily one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The instant connections made are ones I will love forever and the memories I got to make redefined what I want for my future. I feel not only surer in what I want to study in university but also more sure about who...
