Why Cambridge? We'll let Francesco Ciardo tell you himself.
Francesco, who joined us from Italy, had plenty to say about life in one of the world's most iconic student cities - and honestly, he put it better than we ever could.
Cambridge, he told us, is the ...perfect city for student life. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else - you can study, play sport, explore, and build genuine independence, all within a city compact enough to navigate entirely on foot or by bike. (And yes, Francesco fully embraced the Cambridge cycling culture.)
Oh, and the weather? Francesco admits it's a little colder than Italy. But as he says himself: you get used to it. ☁️
At St Andrew's College Cambridge, we think there's truly nowhere better to study, grow, and discover the world. Come and see for yourself. 🌍💙

Thinking about studying abroad but not sure if you're ready to take the leap?
Francesco Ciardo, one of our students from Italy, had this to say - and we think it's worth a read.
"Don't be scared to go out of Italy. You will not stay alone. You get ...to know people from all over the world."
When Francesco first arrived, the nerves were real - the distance from family, from friends, from everything familiar. But what followed was a transformation. Growing in independence. Building connections with students from across the globe. And discovering a place where teachers are genuinely, consistently there for you - available whenever you need them, ready to help you understand, perform, and master whatever you're working on.
At St Andrew's College Cambridge, this is what we strive to provide every single day. A community where no student is ever alone, and where every student leaves more confident, more capable, and more ready for wherever life takes them next. 🌍💙
Thinking about joining us? We'd love to hear from you.
