“Good resources”

Overall
You get free access to every book published and you're taught by leading figures in your field, so pretty good. The supervision system is great if you like close contact time with people who know the material well. Lots of societies and programmes to be a part of too. Hard to find time to really take advantage of everything on offer, to be honest.

“Not like you think it'll be - way better”

Overall
The Modern and Medieval Languages (French and Russian) course has been fantastic so far. There is a brilliant mix of language and content modules. First year you get an introduction to the culture and later on you can specialise in any direction from history to philosophy and literature, film, to linguistics. I love this flexibility. I think it's great that in one course you can study at least some linguistics, literature, history, philosophy, film, art and architecture. All the teachers are academics and many are specialists in their fields. The supervision system gives you time with an academic to discuss your ideas in depth and receive feedback on your work. Language classes are well taught, from orals, to translation, to grammar lessons.
The students are not like you think they'll be - at least not most - and Cambridge is the most accepting place I've ever been. You can really be who you want to be at Cambridge.
Living in colleges is a real plus, since you always feel like you know more people cause you meet people naturally from the off, and then stay with them, at least loosely, until the end of your degree. Accommodation is cheaper than at a lot of UK universities, because it's provided by the colleges themselves.
Would highly recommend MML at Cambridge.

Pros
World-class education, really open vibe, beautiful place, so many societies and activities, never a dull moment
Cons
There are a few more hoops to jump through (to apply, to get accommodation, to study generally) that at most unis. You won't ever feel like you're at a normal university, and whenever you say you go there, people will think you're showing off
