While Cambridge is charming, the absence of most street signs is deplorable. Have they ever heard of signs? By the way, Brattle Street turns near campus.

Cambridge is a really nice town. I love how its a bit quiet and offers an escape from bustling Boston.

Such a vibrant, eclectic community, what more could you ask for? Cambridge is the nation's college town.

Cambridge has a wide array of shops and restaurants. While it feels like a small city, it has a delightful New England twist. And of course, Boston is but a bridge away! In short, I was a big fan.

Lots of homelessness and overpriced food/stores, but also vibrant and diverse.

Very busy, too much smoking. I'm from a suburb so it was very different

Didn't get there much, but seemed like an average near-city town.

Cambridge is pretty overrated and the people are pretty cranky in general.
