Housing and meals

Accommodation is offered in Cambridge College student residences. With their extensive gardens and quiet courtyards, Pembroke and King’s Colleges are beautiful places to live and work. All students are housed in single-occupancy rooms with washbasins, internet access, cleaning service and shared laundry facilities and kitchens, for making snacks and drinks between meals, and usually shared bathrooms. Rooms are banded in price according to location and amenities.

The majority of meals are taken at the Pembroke and King’s College cafeterias and the partial meal plan included in the cost of the accommodation provides students with sufficient credit for approximately ten meals per week. Light meals and snacks are also available at the King's College and Cambridge Union Society coffee shops and at Café Pembroke.

Dining is an important part of College life. Over the summer students will be able to attend four College dinners known as ‘Formal Halls’, and these often have interesting menus. These three-course candlelit meals are usually enjoyed in a beautiful dining hall with fellow students, faculty and PAs, and are a Cambridge tradition dating back hundreds of years.
