Accommodation

Staying in a Cambridge College

To add to your experience, you will have the unique opportunity to stay in one of four beautiful Cambridge Colleges. Each is very different in character, but all offer a warm welcome. The Colleges are within easy walking distance of the main teaching site and the vibrant city centre. You will meet fellow students and become familiar with Cambridge in a way few are privileged to experience. Non-resident places are also available.

Accommodation costs

You can view all accommodation options and fees here: tuition and accommodation fees.

Accommodation for a one-week stay is from Sunday afternoon (including dinner) to Saturday morning (including breakfast). Costs include bed, breakfast, evening meals (lunch is available to buy on or near the teaching site) and nights between consecutive weeks if you are staying for more than one week.

Accommodation between consecutive weeks 

Those attending two or more consecutive weeks of the Summer Programme will automatically have their College accommodation booked for the extra night(s) in between and will be charged accordingly. Please email us if you do not want to stay in College for the extra night(s), between weeks, in which case you will be asked to clear and vacate your room immediately after breakfast. (Note: you may not be guaranteed a stay in the same room if you vacate.)
