Reach Cambridge was by far the most wonderful, interesting and inspiring experience I have ever done: it all started as an opportunity to learn about new things in the science field, but in the end it also gave me a taste of what studying at Cambridge University looks like and allowed me to get to know new incredible people from all over the world.
I attended the STEM course, and as someone who wanted to clear their mind about college decisions by getting a taste of each of the major scientific disciplines, this was undoubtedly the best choice I could make. What I liked the most about this course is that it allowed me to change classes and teachers every few days, which gave me the opportunity of knowing new incredible people even from other colleges while also forging strong friendships with my actual STEM classmates. I also found experiencing very different teaching and learning styles extremely useful for my future.
But what I enjoyed most other than the STEM course were the activities the amazing Reach Cambridge staff organised: from postcard making to t-shirt panting, from punting on the river to a super fun graduation party at the end of the program, there was absolutely no time to get bored! Weekends were also incredibly busy and fun: we got to visit Hampton Court Palace and to attend an original Shakespeare play in the actual Globe theatre in London!
So overall, I can say I would definitely go back to Reach for a second summer experience, and I would absolutely recommend other people my age to try it!
I never expected a mere two weeks to change my life. The Reach Cambridge experience was nothing short of phenomenal, with so many opportunities to learn what I was actually interested in, and to meet people from all over the world, all while staying in the most beautiful city. I undertook the Psychology course and it has helped me so much to figure out what I want to do after graduating high school, as well as increase my love for the subject even more. The friendships made were so strong, and the memories I have will live with me forever.
Attending the Reach Cambridge Summer Program this past summer has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and an experience I will most definitely remember life long! I chose the two-week program to study the Course Medicine
My Reach Cambridge experience was one of the most fun I have ever had in two weeks! It was the perfect mix of free time and engaging activities for me. Also, I got to meet really diverse, amazing people who I cannot wait to keep in contact with.
- Luiza S~A^3 - September 12, 2023It was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life and there is no doubt that it is a really important memory for me. I had the chance to learn about law, a law completely different compared to my country's. I had the chance to actually visit multiple courts and observe cases. I had the chance to practice law myself, either in the classroom or the court. I met so many people, from all over the world, who I will never ever forget. Even if I met them 2 weeks ago or maybe less, they really feel like a family to me. If I had the chance I would do all over again!
- Aigli Chatzidaki, Law - September 12, 2023The experience in the Reach Cambridge program was one that will stay with me. The lessons allowed me to look at psychology as a whole, get to know new aspects of it and solidify what the best choices for me are going into university. Above all, I got the chance to meet and make connections with amazing people from all around the world. I never felt alone since I found my community but I also created a new one here with the other students and the staff. Reach Cambridge you're going to be missed but you gave me confidence for what I'm doing next.
- Eleni Manolopoulou, Psychology - September 12, 2023One of the best experiences I^aEURTMve had. Very good activities and super friendly staff. Met so many unforgettable people from all over the world. I loved it here and the course was very informative and helpful
- Deema - July 1, 2017My favourite lecture has been 'Women in Leadership'. I think it was really interesting because it can be different from one culture to another, so it was really about making things clear about what we can do and why we should do it.
- Alice, Medicine & Life Sciences - August 28, 2018I think other students should apply to Reach Cambridge as it's a great opportunity not only to learn something you're interested in, but also it's a great way to interact with other students from around the world!
- Johanna, Psychology - August 28, 2018Reach has been a great experience for my daughter, who did an "away from home" summer program for the first time ever. I saw how she gained maturity and a new-found confidence from being independent and gaining new friends in a totally different environment.
- Karen, Parent - August 28, 2018It was such a pleasure and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to be part of this team! I'm always gonna carry this lovely family in my heart!
- Isa, Politics & International Relations - April 30, 2018I loved the Reach program and it was great to get to know people from all over the world.
- Oliver, Medicine & Life Sciences - April 30, 2019

My time with reach was the most educational, memorable, inspiring, and unforgettable summer of my life; What started off as me studying law, gave me an opportunity to get a taste of how studying at Cambridge University really feels, and so much more. It became late nights filled with laughter, strolls around town, and friendships that felt more like family. The lecture halls taught us more than statutes and precedents , they became the backdrop to evening lectures that varied from cultural music, to how airplanes work!
The people I met became the highlight of those long days ^aEUR" the kind of friends who made the late nights easier and the small wins feel bigger.
My summer with reach was the best choice ive made, and i encourage others to do the same!.
