The location and transport

You will live on the Addenbrooke's Hospital site. It is 3 miles from the Fulbourn campus, where the Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education is based, and where you will have your lectures. It is 2.5 miles from the main Cambridge campus on East Road, where students in other faculties are based.

The bus stop at the front of Addenbrooke's has many bus routes passing through, as well as the Park and Ride. Travelling to Fulbourn by bus takes about 10 minutes. Buses go directly to Cambridge railway station (less than 2 miles away) which has regular direct trains to London King's Cross. The central shopping area of the city is also easy to get to.

Bicycle racks and car parking are available for you at the hospital site.

Occupancy agreements

• The current rent is approximately £282.44 per month
• The rent is paid monthly on the first of every month
• A deposit is required which is equivalent to one month's rent
• Council tax, electricity, heating and water rates are included in the rent, but you do need to organise your own contents insurance and TV licence if you would like them.

Application

Apply via Anglia Ruskin, using the form below. Submit your application by post, email or fax - details are on the form. We will check that you are eligible to apply and refer your application on to Sanctuary.

You will be offered accommodation for one academic year and normally this accommodation is for first year students only. Priority is given to students whose home is geographically distant from their study site - those from over 35 miles away.

Unfortunately due to the high demand for accommodation we cannot guarantee all students a room - you should apply as soon as you have firmly accepted a course offer.
