Cambridge University was founded in A.D. 1209. It was originally founded by a group of teachers who fled Oxford University to escape the war.

/kloc-In the 20th century, Franciscans, Benedictines and clowns came to settle in this flat and humid swamp area, and Cambridgeshire was born.

1209, two scholastic philosophers of Oxford University were accused of murdering a prostitute, and the Oxford County Court sentenced them to hang. In protest, Oxford teachers temporarily stopped teaching and left one after another. Some of them came to Cambridgeshire and established Cambridge University.

In fact, Cambridge University is only a loosely organized consortium of colleges, which are highly autonomous, but all abide by the unified charter of Cambridge University, which is drafted and passed by the university's legislature and revised every year. Cambridge University is only responsible for examinations and degree awarding, while the specific criteria for enrollment are determined by each college and are self-enrolled.
