Much of the entertainment is organised in colleges by students, with regular film nights and discos, open to members of other colleges, as well as the programmes organised by clubs and societies. There's usually far more to do than can be packed into the eight-week terms. If you think that the cost is going to influence your choice of university and whether you live at home or go away, ask any college Admissions Office for details of the accommodation charges, and the sort of financial support their students are currently entitled to. There is a variety of funds available, from the Government, from Cambridge University and within colleges, to supplement the Student Loan. Where students have genuine difficulties over finance, college tutors are ready to advise and help with application for supplementary funds.
Tutors do their utmost to ensure that no student's Cambridge degree is at risk for lack of funds.
Cambridge Colleges are committed to the principle that no student should be deterred from studying for a degree at Cambridge by financial considerations. Further details in section on fees .
