Hi, so for a little background information, I recently was offered a position for a MPhil in Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. I am a 22yo male who has lived in New York City their entire life (born in Queens, raised in Manhattan, went to school in Brooklyn, and did university at NYU). As someone who has never left the city, it's a little nerve racking to spend my first year gone in an entirely different continent. If there is anything I should know about the culture or everyday life at Cambridge, please let me know! I wish to be respectful and not step on anyone's toes by accident. Also, if you have any recommendations of things I should do/prepare for when I go to Cambridge, that would be very nice as well!

​

Sidenote: I've been told by university friends that I have a thick New York accent, is that going to be a problem?
