This is how usual room in Cambridge looks like. Just to get a vision about how it feels like living in Cambridge. This particular room is in Richard Laws building (St. Edmunds college).

Hello, I am an MPhil offer holder who is currently thinking about what category of rooms I should apply for. (Yes, I am allocated to St. Edmund's college.) In particular, I have two questions that I wish you could help me with: 1. It seems like your room is actually larger than what is shown on the college's website. I know your room is category 4, and I know theoretically category 4 rooms are better than category 3 ones. However, it does appear to me, according to the pictures on the college's website, that category 3 rooms are larger than category 4. So, are category 3 rooms indeed larger, or is it just because the picture is misleading? 2. Do you know how many students share a kitchen in category 5 (the en-suite rooms)? And are category 5 rooms larger than yours? Thank you very much in advance, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi! It's hard to really all the details now... The size is relatively similar, although, 5th category is larger a bit. I would bother more about how many people are sharing bathroom and kitchen. In 4th category (which was mine) there were 6 people per 1 kitchen, 2 toilets and 1 shower - it was ok, I never had to line for any of this. Plus the building is new, all works great! In 4th category there were much more ppl per toilet and shower which could be annoying, and the building is older... I chose 4th category and was veeery happy, I had one of the best rooms among my friends:) If you can afford, go for 5th category, it's great, with your own great shower and I think 4 ppl per kitchen...

Hi ! I was also accepted to St Edmund's College and I am currently looking for accommodation. Where can I find the information regarding how many people are sharing the kitchen/showers? I haven't seen anything about this on the College's website. Thank you :)

Hi! This is Category 4 room (more details here www.st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk/accommodation-about-rooms). Most of the college accommodation is good. I liked Category 4 because it had only 4 people per kitchen and shower and we had 2 toilets. In lower categories the accommodation was nice, but there were many people per kitchen/bathroom. But this was in St. Edmunds college, it could be very different in others.
