Offering a unique backstage pass, many Cambridge colleges provide the opportunity to stay in a student room during your visit to this heritage-rich city. Whilst helping to generate revenue to contribute to the upkeep of these iconic buildings, the bed and breakfast rooms on offer provide a cost-effective and unique alternative to a bland hotel chain. Rooms are in a very central location, and staying here will certainly give you a story to tell your friends about. During your stay, you can re-trace the footsteps of well-known graduates, such as Newton, Darwin, and Wordsworth. Eating in a college hall is a story in itself, after which you can wander through the college’s gardens and courts, learn the history of the college, take a punt along the River Cam, and finish everything off with a drink at the college bar.
