Finding suitable accommodation is an important part of settling into Cambridge, especially when relocating with a family. There are several options available to University staff and students.

 

University Accommodation 

The University's Accommodation Service can help you find a suitable place to live.

  • Access a wide range of University-owned and private rental properties
  • Register to search the full property database
  • Receive guidance on renting in Cambridge

We recommend avoiding committing to private accommodation without viewing it in person where possible or asking a trusted contact to view on your behalf.

 

Private rentals and local listings

You may also find accommodation through:

  • Local letting agencies
  • University noticeboards and networks
  • Online housing and community forums

These can offer additional options, particularly if University accommodation is limited.

 

Student accommodation

Some Colleges offer family accommodation for students. Availability varies, so check directly with your College for details.

If College accommodation is not available, the University Accommodation Service can support you in finding alternatives
