New undergraduate students in Cambridge and Chelmsford can apply to book their place in university accommodation. University accommodation includes a desk, chair, wardrobe, bed and shelves.

In Cambridge, there’s a variety of halls to choose from, which are all on campus, as well as shared houses, which can be found nearby. The university accommodation includes:

• Anastasia House

• Swinhoe Hall
• University shared houses

Third-party accommodation in Cambridge (e.g., CB1 and The Railyard) can be applied for through the Residential Services Office.

There’s a student village in the heart of the Chelmsford campus, while students in Peterborough can apply to live in nearby flats and houses.

The accommodation pages on the university website hold more details about the options and costs available at each campus.

A virtual tour of the campuses is available online.
