Studio or en-suite in Cambridge?

Cambridge en-suite rooms

Cambridge en-suite rooms cost less than studios and suit students who want to share a kitchen. Around half the properties sit within a mile of the centre.

Before you chooseAsk how many people share the kitchen and how close the property is to Anglia Ruskin's East Road campus if you study there.

Cambridge student rooms near Anglia Ruskin, the colleges and Mill Road

Cambridge works differently from most student cities. University of Cambridge colleges house most of their undergraduates, so private properties here mainly serve Anglia Ruskin students on East Road, postgraduates and visiting students. Most sit east of the centre, around Mill Road, Newmarket Road and the station, with bills included across our listings.

Where do Anglia Ruskin students rent in Cambridge?

Anglia Ruskin students make up most private renters in the city, and ARU accommodation shows up among Google's related Cambridge searches. Its campus sits on East Road, so the streets that matter are Mill Road, Petersfield, Romsey and Newmarket Road.

Where is the East Road campus?

Just east of the centre, at East Road, CB1 1PT. Anglia Ruskin says it is about ten minutes on foot from the centre and 20 from the station, with plenty of cycle parking. Our Anglia Ruskin University page lists properties nearby.

Driving to campus rarely works

Anglia Ruskin asks students not to park in the residential streets around East Road, and spaces in the centre are scarce and slow to reach. Most students walk or cycle in, so a room within easy riding distance saves money and stress.

Petersfield and Romsey either side

Mill Road crosses the railway on a bridge that splits Petersfield from Romsey. Petersfield sits closer to campus and Parker's Piece. Romsey grew up as terraces for Victorian railway workers, and its small houses are a quick cycle from East Road.

What is Mill Road like?

Busy and independent. Mill Road runs south east from Parker's Piece, lined with small shops, cafes, churches and the Cambridge Central Mosque. The Cam Foundry, further out along the road, has a cinema room, courtyard, study rooms and bike storage.

Newmarket Road for flat sharers

Newmarket Road heads out east from the centre, just north of the campus. Anglia House, at number 217, groups its rooms into flats of four, five or six students who share a kitchen and dining area. Anglia Ruskin lists it too.

Is a bike worth buying?

Usually yes. A student writer in Varsity who lived off Mill Road describes a ride of about ten minutes into the centre. Cambridge is flat, the busy routes have cycle lanes, and most private properties we list offer bike storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Best Student Halls lists student accommodation for searches in Cambridge from £200 per week across 9 properties. Find answers about rent, bills and choosing accommodation near your university.

How do I find a student room in Cambridge within my budget?

Listed accommodation for searches in Cambridge starts from £200 per week. Filter rooms by your maximum weekly rent and move-in date. Compare shared facilities with private-bathroom options, and include the journey to your campus in the budget. Ask which advertised rooms match your exact dates.

Should Cambridge students choose accommodation by college or by department?

For University of Cambridge study, compare the locations of your college and department, since both may feature in your routine. Start with accommodation near the University of Cambridge. Check your college's own accommodation arrangements before taking a private tenancy, particularly if your offer has residence conditions.

Is Anglia Ruskin accommodation in Cambridge the same as University of Cambridge accommodation?

No. These are different institutions. Use Anglia Ruskin University accommodation for an ARU course and verify the campus named in your offer. A Cambridge address or a general university label does not establish that the room is close to the buildings your course uses.

Should I choose a Cambridge room around cycling access?

If you plan to cycle, compare the route to your college or department and ask about secure bike storage. Check whether the route works after dark and whether the property permits the storage arrangement you need. Keep a walking or public-transport backup in your budget.

Are self-contained student studios listed for Cambridge?

Best Student Halls lists 9 properties for Cambridge searches, with studios and en-suite rooms among the room types. A studio has private cooking space and a bathroom; an en-suite room normally shares a kitchen. Compare the floor plan, full rent and room availability for your course dates.

Can a Cambridge postgraduate book a room covering summer research?

Choose dates around your actual research or taught-course calendar. Ask for a tenancy that covers summer if you need it, and clarify any gap between contracts. Confirm postgraduate eligibility and the room's study facilities before accepting a standard undergraduate academic-year tenancy.
