Please see our Cambridge Accommodation section for full details. Homestays are a maximum of 30 minutes away by public transport, and often closer.

Tripos Court is approximately three miles from the school and can be reached either by bike or public transport. You can walk to the city centre from Tripos Court in 15 minutes.

All our schools have wireless internet access which is free and unlimited. Students can also use the school computers for free all day, but may have to wait during busy times.

Internet connections can be set up in student rooms at Tripos Court, but works out rather expensive (up to GB £200) for those on short courses. Therefore many students prefer to use the school connection during lunch time and after school.

Homestays differ, and we cannot guarantee internet access. Please mention at the time of booking if it is important to you, and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.

Cambridge is a student city and a large number of its residents habitually use bicycles. You can arrange bicycle hire at the school.
