The University of Cambridge runs under a system that is very different from MIT. One of the
main differences between MIT and Cambridge is that MIT is centralized and cohesive, whereas
Cambridge is made up of many separate, almost self-sufficient entities, which are nonetheless
intertwined. The University of Cambridge, according to its webpage, is a "loose confederation
of faculties, Colleges, and other bodies." Here is a brief outline of the workings of this structure
that will surround you in Cambridge.
