Preparation and Arrival

• Student rooms in the College are priced by bands based on the size of the room, the room’s location, and whether or not it has en-suite bath or shower facilities. Prices for 2020/2021 can be found on the fees and charges page.
• Pictures of rooms and shared facilities can be found in the MCR Accommodation look book. (Please note, we are no longer renting Swirles court for the next academic year.)
• There is information about College accommodation in the Student Centre > Accommodation pages.

We monitor developments in health requirements and relevant government regulations, and due to the nature of the pandemic it is possible that we will need to make temporary or longer-term alternative arrangements at short notice. It is our intention to provide the best service we can, however please note that should the requirements for health provision or other appropriate measures to respond to the pandemic be required we will adjust as appropriate. We hope we will have your understanding should this arise. Please arrive on your Licence Start date or arrange to adjust the Licence Start date (usually to an earlier arrival as adjustments become more difficult later in the cycle) in advance, and note that we hope to give everyone the band offered when they arrive but in some circumstances we may need to offer a different band, or arrange accommodation from another provider.

The University’s Accommodation Service is a good starting point for inquiries about accommodation from other providers:

• We can offer all full-time students allocated a Hughes Hall room who are required to quarantine under current regulations with facilities to do so if this is requested in good time. Due to the additional demands of quarantine you may be required to arrive on an earlier date and may be accommodated in a different room during your quarantine period. We can also offer quarantine facilities to Hughes Hall students who will not be living in College accommodation subject to availability – again you should expect an earlier arrival date. In all cases you should request this when you accept the room offer or as soon as the UK government adds the country you are travelling from to the list of countries requiring self-isolation on arrival. See www.gov.uk/uk-border-control. Please bear in mind that demand is likely to increase as the cycle progresses, so planning for earlier arrival is likely to make it easier to put self-isolation/quarantine provision in place.
• We have also made an arrangement with the Moller Institute in Cambridge which is offering rooms for students who need to self-isolate. Rates are £89.00 per night including Bed and Breakfast. Breakfast will be placed outside your door. You can also order lunch and dinner priced at around £5 – £8 per meal.
