Not sure what type of accommodation is right for you?
AFS always has the widest choice of student accommodation available. To help you find the right place to live, read our brief guide to the different types of accommodation below.
University Hall
Cambridge
University residences which are generally full of first year undergraduates are a great way to adjust to living away from home and making new friends. Uni halls are usually located close to campus.
Cambridge
Private Halls
Cambridge
Generally offer a higher level of amenities than University Halls, at higher rents. Will be home to a more diverse mix of students and normally located close to campus.
Cambridge
House
Cambridge
A house share with a group of friends is often the lowest cost option and popular as the next step after living in Halls. Typically located in student friendly areas which require some travel to University.
Cambridge
Flat
Cambridge
A flat or apartment is similar to a house share on a smaller scale and will normally have one or two bedrooms. Ideal for smaller groups or couples.
Cambridge
Studio
Cambridge
Either a premium room in a Private Hall of Residence or a self-contained flat or apartment where all of the amenities are in one space. Typically the most expensive option.
Cambridge
Homestay
Cambridge
A room in a house where the landlord or owner currently lives. A good option if you are not too concerned about living with other students and are budget conscious.
Cambridge
Bedsit
Cambridge
A self-contained room, which includes most amenities but with shared bathroom facilities.
Cambridge
Spare room
Cambridge
A room available in a house share, where a group of existing housemates want to fill an empty room. A good way of getting the benefits of a house share without an established group of friends.
