Accommodation

Master's House

For our older students, we provide a number of options and we highly recommend you stay in our halls of residence where you will benefit endlessly from the opportunity of being surrounded by other creative art students as well as the on-site dedicated welfare support.

The primary accommodation for our over 18s is at Master’s House. Designed with your needs in mind, we aim to provide safe and secure accommodation but under more university style conditions, appropriate to our older students.

Location

You could not ask for a more stunning journey to College every morning. Master’s House is only an 8 minute cycle ride from CSVPA but your journey will take you over the River Cam and through Jesus Green, one of the most beautiful parks in Cambridge where you will find six tennis courts, band concerts on a summer Sunday afternoon, an outdoor swimming pool and BBQ area.

It’s the perfect social space where students gather together to take in the inspirational sights and sounds of Cambridge. Alternatively if you want to catch a bus you can be door-to-door in 14 minutes. Being a creative arts student in Cambridge and having your accommodation and College so close to each other allows you to get the most out of your time here. Whether that is giving you the opportunity to spend more time in the studios working or time to explore Cambridge and hang out with your friends.

Cambridge is hard to beat for something amazing to see and do. From cinemas and theatres showing a range of art house, independent, foreign and commercial films, to museums, concert venues, and a wonderful choice of shopping and nightlife in what is a vibrant cosmopolitan city.

Varsity House

There are two blocks at Varsity House, which are dedicated to our students aged over 18 who will benefit from both the support and reassurance of having the 24-hour presence of house parents in the main building, should they need them. In addition, they will also have the independence of living without the close levels of house parent supervision that we offer to our younger students.

Location

Varsity House is only a 7 minute cycle ride to CSVPA on Round Church Street and the centre of Cambridge. Perfectly located, you can chose between a 7 minute cycle ride or walking to the top of the road from which buses leave every 10 minutes. For those students looking to take in the beautiful and inspirational setting of Cambridge, you might decide to take the short one mile walk past the stunning Midsummer Common, taking in the sights of Jesus College. For our Performing Arts students there’s no excuses to be late for class, with the new CSVPA dance studios located 1 minute from the halls!

Batim House

Batim House has a total of 29 rooms all single en-suite. The residence has three fully fitted kitchens, laundry facilities, and two large furnished common rooms contained within the three-story building. This is a new residence which has been completely refurbished. The residence has a warden who lives on-site and will be able to assist you and help you settle in.
