Accommodation at Magdalene College

Accommodation and Food

As one of the older Colleges within the University of Cambridge, Magdalene accommodation has been built and acquired over several centuries, and is therefore incredibly varied in terms of size, age, and facilities – there is no average Magdalene room.

We offer accommodation to both undergraduates and postgraduates, in a variety of locations and prices, and no accommodation is more than a 5-minute walk from the College.

Magdalene College has been certified as following the National Code of Standards for Larger Student Developments by Accreditation Network UK (ANUK).

 

Undergraduate Accommodation

Undergraduate accommodation at Magdalene is incredibly varied, ranging from spacious bedroom and sitting-room sets in the medieval First Court, to modern en-suite rooms in quiet Cripps Court. The cost of College accommodation is also varied, so there are rooms that suit every budget.
