I've lived in Cambridge for the last 5 years. Echoing the poster above, nightlife is pretty bleak. There are a few generic clubs dotted around the centre of the city, but mostly in the form of cocktail bars with a few dancefloors here and there. I can't comment about them too much though experience so I'll skip over that part. In regards to living arrangements - I assume you mean you're on around £20k? Expect just under half of your take-home pay to go on rent alone. If you're a student you probably won't need to worry about council tax. For a studio apartment set aside around £650-700 per month all in if you plan to live in actual Cambridge. If you're going to be working or going to and from Addenbrookes a lot, consider looking for somewhere to live in Cherry Hinton - it's a district at the southern end of the city and affords you a minor break from the huge rental prices, though you may struggle to find much other than house shares there. The same applies to the town of Milton, which is on the other side of the A14 and could probably be considered part of Cambridge. People-wise... more or less what you can expect from a city built around a prestigious university. A fair few eccentric types, high-brow academics, lots of guys in chinos, dress shoes and blazers. I've never been to the university and struggle to find much common ground with most in the city, but that's my experience only. I'm sure they're nice enough though. Also I hope you like huge groups asian and europian tourists.  I'll add a bit more to this post if I think of anything more constructive!
