About

The University of Cambridge is a public collegiate research university in Cambridge, England. Founded in 1209, the University of Cambridge is the world's third-oldest university in continuous operation. The university's founding followed the arrival of scholars who left the University of Oxford for Cambridge after a dispute with local townspeople. The two ancient English universities, although sometimes described as rivals, share many common features and are often jointly referred to as Oxbridge.

PBSA Demand

Collegiate housing absorbs much undergrad need. Private PBSA competes hardest for postgraduates, visiting academics, and overflow — scarcity pricing, not yield chasing.
