As many Ciao regulars know I have just got married and this is my first, and possibly most boring (!), review since then. It was always my dream, from a young child (1) to get married and (2) to go to university at Cambridge. I am now proud to say that I have managed both!

The great thing is that there is a niche for everyone. I doubt there are more clubs or societies at any other university, there really is something for everyone, whether it be a sport, journalism or something else completely. The opportunities are endless ...
