I've had a really positive experience living at Castle Hill in Cambridge. The accommodation is modern, comfortable and provides a great environment for both studying and relaxing. The location is ideal, and the facilities make it a lovely place to live as a university student. A special mention to Marina, who has been absolutely brilliant! She's been incredibly helpful, welcoming and supportive, making the experience of living here even better. It's clear that she genuinely cares about residents and wants to make sure everyone has a positive experience. Having someone like Marina around makes a real difference and is a huge credit to the accommodation team. Overall, I'm really happy with my experience at Castle Hill. The accommodation itself is great, and the excellent support from staff like Marina makes it even better. I'd happily recommend Castle Hill to anyone looking for student accommodation in Cambridge! read more

This place really will begin to feel like your second home as time passes! The town is cozy, but there is always something to do - from punting, to joining random societies, to wandering through the halls... there is no place like Cambridge! Academically it is undoubtedly tough, however, this is very much so balanced and compensated, in my opinion, by the extremely supportive community there. read more

Generally very happy! Only issues are with student accommodation but the problems are those which naturally arise with living in an old building. Furthermore, the Student Union as well as clubs and societies do their best given the challenges of the college system from their perspective! read more

Very good in terms of facilities, scholarship/bursary options, societies, and mental health/wellbeing support. However, the career guidance is lacking significantly as the focus tends to be primarily on academics. Also, eduroam is very temperamental. read more

Everything is great except some facilities like the wifi and printing are unnecessarily complicated. Logging into a different department's portal to do an elective module is also a convoluted process. read more
