Single room accommodation is guaranteed to all undergraduates during term time. There is a range of room sizes, features and rents, to suit your needs, preferences and priorities. We have basic rooms with washbasins, rooms with easy access, and rooms with en suite facilities. Every room has wireless internet access.

First-year accommodation is all located on the main College site. Courts are divided into staircase blocks; room numbers are prefixed by their staircase letter. Rooms are referred to by letter and number, e.g. B14, and corridors by floor: top, middle or bottom, so you could end up on Top F or Middle A.

All first-year rooms are semi en suite, equipped with a shower and washbasin. All first-year rooms are allocated randomly* and each corridor is occupied by students of a range of different subjects. 

*If you have specific requirements relating to your accommodation - such as accessibility needs - these will be managed by the Student Services Hub, once your offer is confirmed. Of course, if you have questions in advance of making an application, then we would be very pleased to discuss your specific requirements. As with all pre-admission questions, contact admissions@fitz.cam.ac.uk
