University of Cambridge (2/6)

Founded in 1209, Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world. It holds a rivalry with its counterpart, Oxford University, with both institutions often being placed atop rankings for the best universities in both the country and worldwide. Fascinatingly, the rivalry stretches back for centuries, and for a very long part of this Oxford and Cambridge were the only two universities in the country! It boasts over thirty colleges across its campus and several notable alumni, such as Sir Isaac Newton and Alan Turing.
