May Week is the name used within the University of Cambridge to refer to the week at the end of the academic year. Originally May Week took place in the week during May before year-end exams began. Today, May Week takes place in June, after exams are over. The end of exams is a cause for heavy celebration amongst the students of the University. Highlights of the week include May balls, as well as College events and garden parties. During this time, students get an opportunity to relax where some choose to punt on the River Cam (sometimes to Grantchester) taking in the beauty that Cambridge in the summer has to offer.

Suicide Sunday

Suicide Sunday is the name used at Cambridge University to refer to the Sunday immediately after the end of the summer term (known as Easter Term). By this Sunday, all students have finished exams but most of the results have not been published, so it is traditionally a period of nerves and suspense. The name, however, stems from students attempting to drink themselves to death rather than a high incidence of suicides. Garden parties are hosted by many of the established societies. These tickets are highly sought after and often first choice goes to members of the many societies.
