Although many full-time postgraduate students are housed by their Colleges (either within the College grounds or in postgraduate hostels or flats), few Colleges can house all their student members. There can be a strong demand for suitable private rented accommodation in Cambridge but the Accommodation Service is available to offer friendly and helpful advice on housing.
The Accommodation Service helps to relocate families from across the world, and can provide information on living in Cambridge and assist with school information and applications, and details about local facilities, sports and libraries.
For more information, visit the Accommodation Services website.

The Sports Service also maintains dedicated athletics and hockey facilities at Wilberforce Road Sports Ground, while cricket and tennis have their home at Fenner's, one of the country's most historic and iconic sports venues. A range of other club and college grounds are available across the city, catering to rugby, rowing, and many other sports besides.

The transition to university study and living away from home can be a big change for many of our students. If you need a bit of extra support while at the University, whether that's with your academic work or personal issues, we have an extensive welfare system in place.
We provide assistance with student wellbeing, whether that's physical or mental aid, the Disability Resource Centre, or the University Counselling Service.
