Accommodation
Second-oldest of the Cambridge colleges, with a foundation date of 1326, Clare is located just a short walk from the centre of Cambridge. Clare is able to offer accommodation to all its students for three years. College life centres on the elegant seventeenth-century Old Court. Some final-year students live here, close to the Hall, the main student common room (JCR), the bar, the Buttery, and the Chapel. The twentieth-century Memorial Court buildings - just over the river and close to the new College Library, with its own common room, music and computer rooms - house all the first-year students. Most second-year students are together in College hostels on a nearby site, known as the Colony, where there is a chance for friends to combine together in shared flats and houses.
For Graduate Students the College aims to provide subsidised accommodation for its Research and other Graduate students in their first 3 years, but does not guarantee this.
