Cambridge: a student city like no other

Cambridge attracts those who desire both the experience of the old and the excitement of the new. Its beautiful gothic architecture, main attractions within walking distance, lush botanic gardens and the tranquil River Cam make it one of the UK’s most visited cities. And, with its large student population, Cambridge offers far more than scenery.

The city has a fantastic selection of cafes, restaurants, pubs, trendy high-street shops and popular music venues such as The Junction and the Corn Exchange, where international and local acts such as Blur, David Gray, Elbow, Feeder, Jamiroquai and The Arctic Monkeys make regular appearances. There is also a thriving cultural scene with venues offering exhibitions, plays and concerts.

Cambridge is well known for its love of sports including cricket, football, rowing, rugby and tennis. Students can join the friendly locals at any of the open green spaces in the city centre such as Jesus Green for a game of football.

Anglia Ruskin’s campus is located in the centre of the city and is well resourced with modern lecture halls, seminar rooms, laboratories and studios. There is also a library, a theatre, a medical centre and great social amenities. An ongoing investment programme has added new facilities including art studios and a state-of-the-art language centre.

As well as being home to some of the world’s greatest intellects, Cambridge is also recognised as a centre of technological innovation, due to the growth of the local high-tech industry.

Chelmsford: 35 minutes from London

Just a 35-minute train ride away from London, Chelmsford is a lively, vibrant town in the historical county of Essex.

The famous V Festival is held in Chelmsford’s Hylands Park, and the 2011 festival featured acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal, Calvin Harris, Rihanna and Eminem. Chelmsford also has numerous theatres, an eight-screen cinema, great nightclubs and cosy pubs, all found in the high-street and-west end areas of town. Shopping venues include High Chelmer and Meadows shopping centres and a daily indoor market. Chelmsford has golf courses, rugby and hockey clubs, as well as the Riverside Ice and Leisure Centre. Essex County Cricket Club plays frequent matches during the season and its grounds are within walking distance of the bus and railway stations.

Anglia Ruskin University’s modern campus is set in the lush green Rivermead area of Chelmsford, a short walk from the town centre. It has a wealth of industry-leading facilities, including the new Health and Social Care building with state-of-the-art medical equipment and facilities. It also has a fully equipped gym.

The campus is home to the Lord Ashcroft International Business School (LAIBS), the largest business school in the UK’s eastern region. LAIBS is well recognised by students, employers and professional bodies as a vital centre for business education and training.

The Marconi Building, the result of a £15 million investment, houses the Faculties of Science and Technology, Arts, Law and Social Sciences. Facilities include an amphitheatre, a mock law court and a 150-seat lecture theatre.

Choosing the right accommodation

CRIC offers a variety of accommodation options. It’s important that you spend some time thinking about which is the right choice for you.

In Cambridge we offer accommodation in:

• private off-campus housing

• CB1 (Anglia Ruskin University hall of residence)

• Peter Taylor House (Anglia Ruskin University hall of residence)

In Chelmsford we offer accommodation in Ransomes Way student village.

In this guide we list the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Read each section carefully and take advice from your family and friends. The following questions and answers may also help with your decision.

When should I book my accommodation?

We strongly advise that you book your accommodation as soon as you accept your offer of admission at CRIC. We only have a limited number of rooms available and we work on the basis of first come, first served.

How do I book my preferred accommodation?

Once you have accepted your offer of admission, the CRIC team will send you an Application for accommodation form. You will need to complete this and return it as soon as possible to Mr Andrew Richards, Student Services Manager, at [email protected].

When do I have to pay and how much will it cost?

For private off-campus housing, you must make a down payment of £800 and then pay the remainder of the first fee instalment before you arrive at CRIC. For Peter Taylor House, you will also need to make a down payment of £800 and then pay the remaining accommodation fee before you arrive at CRIC. For CB1 and Ransomes Way, you will need to pay the full fee for the whole semester to secure a room.

Please check the following accommodation sections for price details.

What happens if I can’t have my first choice?

If your preference as specified on the Application for accommodation form is not available, we will try to provide alternative accommodation that meets your needs as closely as possible.

I’m under 18 years of age — what accommodation options are available to me?

If you are younger than 18, you must stay with one of our host families in homestay accommodation. In a homestay, you live with a typical British family in their house. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information about homestays.

What can I do if I change my mind about the accommodation I’ve requested?

If there are still rooms available in another type of accommodation, we will be able to change your room for you. However, you will need to give us at least 24 hours’ notice before you arrive in the UK so we can make the change.

Page 9: Cambridge Ruskin International College ACCOMMODATION GUIDE ...study.navitas.com/rs/navitas/images/CRIC Accommodation Guide January... · Cambridge Ruskin International College ACCOMMODATION

7Accommodation Guide 2012/13

I’m not confident about living on my own — what type of accommodation is best for me?

If you prefer not to live on your own in student accommodation we can arrange homestay accommodation for you. Please contact us at [email protected] if you would like more information about homestays.

Will I have to clean where I live?

Yes. All CRIC accommodation, apart from homestay accommodation, is self-catering. This means you and the other students are responsible for keeping your own rooms clean, as well as any communal areas in your accommodation. We conduct random checks of all houses and halls of residence to ensure they are kept clean. If you damage any room or communal area, including furniture and other equipment, the cost will be deducted from your security deposit.

What laundry facilities are available?

All our private off-campus houses have washing machines. If you stay at CB1, Peter Taylor House or Ransomes Way, you will have full use of on-site laundrette facilities. If you are in homestay accommodation, you will need to ask your host family about their laundry facilities, as these will vary from house to house.

What kitchen facilities are available?

All kitchens in off-campus houses and halls of residence come with fully equipped kitchen facilities, as well as a dining table and chairs.

What is council tax, and will I have to pay it?

Council tax is a charge levied by the local city council to people living in the area. It covers things like local emergency services

and refuse removal. Students living in halls of residence are automatically exempt from council tax. If you choose to live in private off-campus housing, however, to be exempt you will need to give the city council a letter from CRIC confirming that you are a student with us. If the council does not accept your application for council tax exemption, you will need to pay council tax in full. Unfortunately, this is beyond CRIC’s control.

Who do I contact if I have other questions?

CRIC Support Services staff can answer any further questions you may have. Email us at [email protected].
