    College houses

    The College owns a small number of houses within a five minute walk of the College. Many of these are on the opposite side of Huntingdon Road. Popular with third year students, they allow for more independent living but with College facilities still close at hand.

    Hammond House and Clover House

    Bedrooms in Orchard Court vary in size and style. Most are single rooms although a handful of students each year will choose to share. Rooms on the top floors are split level with a bed upstairs and a study, storage and seating downstairs. Students in this building share bathrooms although the ratio of students per bathroom can be as few as 2:1. All students have access to well-equipped kitchens, most of which have seating areas, making for a more sociable experience.

    Licence periods vary between staircases. You have the option to choose a room with a 33-week licence (Term-time only) or a 39-week licence, meaning you don't have to remove your belongings over the Christmas and Easter vacations.
