Cambridge

Massachusetts Ivy city

Cambridge names two major university cities: one in eastern England, home to the University of Cambridge since the 13th century, and one in Massachusetts, home to Harvard and MIT.

The name often stands for the institutions themselves: Cambridge researchers announced a breakthrough.

The word evokes academic prestige and intellectual tradition.
