ACCOMMODATION AND INFORMATION

You may choose from several types of accommodation while studying with Cambridge Finance Language Studio.

A STUDY BEDROOM WITHIN CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY

This option is only available to participants on our summer courses. The rooms are based within the campus of Girton College which is one of the 31 colleges that form Cambridge University.

It is convenient to have accommodation on site throughout the intensive course, and it gives more independence than host family accommodation. You will have your own study bedroom (with shared bathroom facilities) in the beautiful University grounds. Use of the University sports facilities is included.

The college is just outside the main city centre which can be reached by walking (30 minutes), bicycle (10 minutes) or bus (10 minutes).

Cost: €50 per night, including full breakfast in the University dining room. Optional evening meal is available.

A LOCAL HOST FAMILY

You stay with a local host family who will provide you with a private bedroom and shared bathroom facilities. Families are selected for comfort of accommodation and proximity to Girton college. However, there is fierce competition in Cambridge for this type of accommodation, especially in the summer. You may need to make a short journey to the college by public transport or bicycle, depending on the location of your host family.

Cost: €175 per week, including breakfast and evening meal.

HOTELS AND BED & BREAKFAST

Hotel accommodation is widely available in Cambridge at a variety of prices, ranging from €80 to €250 per night. Bed and breakfast accommodation gives you a small bedroom and an English breakfast and is available from €55 to €100 per night. If you are interested in these types of accommodation please ask for details.
