Если Оксфорд - университет в городе, то Кембридж - город в университете. Фраза несколько мутная, но я склонна с ней согласиться. Очень рада, что мне довелось побывать в обоих городах, потому что - на мой вкус - они достаточно разные.
Interesting about Cambridge
Cambridge played a unique role in the invention of modern football: the game's first set of rules were drawn up by members of the University in 1848. The Cambridge Rules were first played on Parker's Piece and had a "defining influence on the 1863 Football Association rules."Most notable of the bands that formed in Cambridge are Pink Floyd, the band's former songwriter guitarist and vocalist Syd Barrett was born and lived in the city. He and other founder member Roger Waters went to school together at Cambridgeshire High School for Boys and David Gilmour was also a Cambridge resident and attended the nearby Perse School.
Cambridge University has produced 83 Nobel Laureates as of 2008, more than any other university in the world according to some counts.
