The college charges its members a weekly Kitchen Fixed Charge of around £9.
After being offered a place at King's, students are invited to fill in a form to request accommodation, in early August. Once your request is received, your accommodation is allocated by the College Accommodation Officer as soon as the University Graduate Admissions office confirms your place, and you have met all conditions of entry. You will be given an opportunity to request a room at the lower end of the rent scale; however this cannot be guaranteed and will be subject to availability. It is not normally possible to specify which building you wish to live in, although the Accommodation Officer will also take into account any students with special accommodation needs (such as disabled access). Please note, because the numbers of graduates requiring accommodation each year can fluctuate, there is normally a deadline in late-August by which you must request accommodation and have your place confirmed. Advance notice of this deadline is provided from year to year. If your place is confirmed only after the deadline (or you request accommodation only after this deadline), we cannot guarantee that we will have accommodation available.
Assuming that both you request accommodation and have your place confirmed in advance of the deadline, then you should expect to be informed of the room you have been allocated, and of its rental charge, in early- to mid-September. Unfortunately it is not possible for this information to be distributed earlier, since rooms cannot be allocated until places are confirmed, and places are not confirmed until late August.

St Catharine's College aims to offer accommodation to all new single research students in their first year (who have requested accommodation by 15th August and who will meet the conditions of their offer, as set by the University Postgraduate Admissions Office, by 1st September in the year of admission). Those applying later in the academic year may be offered accommodation if there are vacancies available. Eligible students will be asked to indicate whether they wish to live in College accommodation when their College membership is confirmed, with accommodation offers made once admission is confirmed by the Postgraduate Admission Office. If you express a preference for a particular residence, we'll try to satisfy it, but please remember that accommodation is allocated on a first come-first served basis. Although the College is unfortunately not able to offer accommodation to all its postgraduate students for the entire duration of their study at Cambridge, we will do our best to take into account and respond to students' individual needs. Postgraduate accommodation is located at sites other than the Main College Site and St Chad’s.
