CambTweet is a widening participation scheme, where students across the University of Cambridge tweet about their day-to-day lives, aiming to demystify Cambridge for students from underrepresented backgrounds. Whether they’re tweeting about how they prepare for supervisions, working in their Faculties or on how they find time to unwind, these accounts are a hugely insightful account into life at Cambridge.
There are CambTweeters across all undergraduate subjects offered at Cambridge, as well as accounts run for the purpose of improving student understanding of postgraduate life at Cambridge. CambTweeters represent many of the colleges across the University as well - with details of their college and year group posted in their Twitter bios.
The central @CambTweet account (https://twitter.com/CambTweet) regularly reposts content produced by our CambTweet community. For prospective applicants, it’s a great idea to follow the accounts of the subject(s) you are interested in applying for. Many of them will also host forums for you to ask questions, particularly about the admissions process, so it’s best to keep updated! You can also have a look at #CambTweet on Twitter for all of the posts that CambTweeters produce, regardless of their subject.
CambTweet also run regular Q&A sessions, where all of the CambTweeters across the University respond to commonly asked questions about life at Cambridge. These are also a great way to make sure your questions are answered, as they will be on hand to answer specific questions too!
