Meals Ridley Hall Accommodation on English Language and Activity Programmes at Studio Cambridge

Breakfast is provided at the residences. Lunches on class days are provided at the course centre. Dinner is taken either at the residence itself or in the Ridley dining hall, 5 to 15 minutes walk away..

There is a wide choice of hot and cold food and a vegetarian option for every meal. At weekends packed lunches are provided.

Evenings

Each evening students on the Sir Christopher programme will have activities organised for them by the Studio wardens. Residential students can go out in the evenings but must return home by 23:00 at the latest. Students who fail to return on time will be spoken to by the wardens. This is an important rule for us and returning late is considered serious misconduct and action will be taken.

All our residences are situated in quiet residential areas, so students and staff are asked to respect the privacy of our neighbours and avoid excessive noise in the evenings.

Your free time

It is important to note that students on the Sir Christopher course will have some free time and independence - especially on Sundays which are free days. There are always things to do in Cambridge and the Studio wardens are there to help and supervise in case of problems. Common rooms are also available in most of our residences.
