Going to Cambridge was a bit of a culture shock, I was a working class lass from Batley who hadn't been anywhere apart from the odd holiday on the Costa Del Sol.

Cambridge is heaven, I am convinced it is the nicest place in the world to live. As you walk round, most people look incredibly bright, as if they are probably off to win a Nobel prize.

Cambridge is really understanding and helpful, so that's been good, and it's just a case of trying to get stuff done when I am there and just being efficient with managing my time.

Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world, especially in my field.

From my earliest days, reading was my passion, and at Cambridge, where I studied English literature, my intellectual life deepened and grew.

I went to London because, for me, it was the home of literature. I went there because of Dickens and Shakespeare.

Actually, I didn't like Dartmouth very much, but the whole theater scene I really liked.

In fact I enjoyed every minute of my life at King's, especially the discovery of French and German literature.
