Accommodation

Clare Hall sits in tranquil surroundings on Herschel Road, a leafy residential road to the west of Cambridge. The College is only a 10-minute walk from the historic city centre and has its own indoor swimming pool, gym, dining hall and bar.

We offer modern accommodation with a selection of single and double rooms and some self-contained flats in 1960s-influenced architecture. Our buildings are in a pretty garden setting with traditional, period and listed buildings as neighbours. A large common room is available for guests to use, in which you can relax and enjoy a hot or cold beverage.

Students

Clare Hall new student accommodation application forms are sent out by the Accommodation Manager, on receipt of confirmation (from the Tutorial Office) that students have met all conditions their offer to study at Clare Hall. The room allocations usually commence from the beginning of June following existing student accommodation applications (which are finalised in May), and accommodation is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. We are usually able to offer accommodation to students meeting the conditions of their offer by the start of August.

Most of the housing for students consists of single study bedrooms with shared facilities, although a number do have en suites. Rooms are organised in houses of 4-15 rooms with residents sharing a kitchen and sitting room. There are also a number of double rooms for couples, and three one-bedroom flats, as well as three two-bedroom flats, for student families. Approximately 60% of postgraduate students live in College accommodation.

Visiting Fellows

For Visiting Fellows there are single studio flats, one- and two-bedroom flats for single or double occupancy or for families, and some three- and four-bedroom houses. Visiting Fellows are asked to fill in their housing requirements at the time of applying for a Visiting Fellowship.
