Possessives.
Hello everyone,
I am a bit confused with possessives I can't even used them, they are so easy, though. Anyway, My question is about: People and Animals we use ('S) things we use (OF), All right.
Well, University of Cambridge is a thing?, so I should say The party of university of Cambridge?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Possessives.
I've no very clear idea of what you're trying to say, but I'm pretty sure you're wrong!

Re: Possessives.
Some people teach that only people and animals can use apostrophe s for possessive. We can say "my cat's leg," but "my car's door."
In any event, even if you follow this rule a "university" is a collection of people, so you can say "the university's party."
