����Vlog

Thirty young school children from Pimlico Primary visited ����Vlog to find out more about university life.

Children as young as six took part in the visit. They went on a quiz trail around the College's social, teaching and living spaces, with a different challenge at every stop to help them learn more about College life.

Arif, 6, said “University is fun! You get to learn more about the subjects you like, and don’t have to study the subjects you don’t like. Today we found out what a University is and how many Colleges there are in Cambridge. It doesn’t matter which College you pick, they are all good. I’d like to go to College to study Science, Maths or English.”

Lamees, 6, said: “At College you get to live with your friends, and you can cook and eat together. You can study subjects you like, and you can choose when you work and when you play. We got to see where students live, the hall where they eat and the library where they study. We saw the bikes they use to get around. We also got to see the giant lawnmower they use on the sports fields!”

Ed Penn, Schools Liaison Officer at ����Vlog, said: “We run events throughout the year for schools, making sure that the activities are pitched for the right age group. The children get a lot out of the visits, and hopefully go on to consider and to apply to good universities such as Cambridge.”
