Anyone with any experience of MFL at Cambridge? Dd in yr 12, got pretty much full marks in GCSE French & Spanish, started well at Alevel so think it may be a possibility. How much does it vary to other unis, in terms of workload, vibe etc? Is the entry process onerous? I went to a standard RG in the 90s, not sure how much difference there is between them and Oxbridge - think she is a bit worried it might be full of ‘weirdos’ (she is a very ‘regular’ teen at local state, albeit selective)
Her school have an Oxbridge club you can join if you’re interested in going but she’s only just started thinking about it and lacks a bit of confidence so doesn’t want to ask her teachers etc yet if they think it’s a good idea. I’m clueless- can anyone advise?!

@periodiclabel thank you so much for your reply, that’s very helpful. I’m not sure the heavy-on-the-literature side would be that appealing for her, I think on the whole she’d prefer more of an extension of what they currently do at alevel. It may have changed since our day, of course! She’ll have to do some more research into each course I think to help her make a clearer decision - a lot of the info is quite hard to find! Thank you 👍
