In some, but not all years, there is an opportunity in September to offer a few remaining rooms to those in a fourth year or to Selwyn graduate M.Phil. Very few of Selwyn's flats are really suitable for families with children. Graduate rooms are located in two staircases in Cripps Court and a number of houses near the College. None of these areas is shared with undergraduates. Rents include a cleaning service as well as heating and electricity.
Students have to provide their own sheets, towels, crockery and cutlery.
Cooking facilities, including gas rings, microwave ovens and fridges, are all shared with other students on the staircase or in the house. The houses have rather fuller kitchen facilities than the staircases. All students must belong to a College. The College is not, however, the main focus of academic activity for postgraduates as it is for undergraduates. That role is played by the Departments.
