Whats a College?
Cambridge is a collegiate university. This means
that it comprises various faculties and departments
in dierent academic subjects, and a number of
Colleges.
Your College is your base for the time youre at
Cambridge. Its where you live, eat, do a lot of
socialising, receive academic and pastoral support,
and where you often (though not always) have
your supervisions. Students on the same course,
regardless of their College, are taught together by
the academic faculties/departments, attending the
same lectures, seminars and practicals. There are
no Colleges that are better for certain subjects.
Advice on how (and how not) to choose a College,
along with an explanation of the key functions that
the University (through the faculties/departments)
and Colleges are responsible for, can be found in
the Undergraduate Prospectus and on our website
(www.cam.ac.uk/choosingacollege/).
Visiting Colleges
The Colleges will be open for visitors to drop in
at the times specied below (please check the
opening times carefully as access will not be
possible at any other time) please follow the signs
from the main College entrance.
Some Colleges have their own events taking place
during 4 and 5 July that require separate booking
(see individual College websites for details and
booking).

Most of the locations used for the Open Days are
within walking distance of the city centre, but
some Colleges and departments are a little further
out. If you have sucient time you may like to walk
out to these Colleges/departments. Alternatively,
you may wish to use one of the bus services (see
below).
Walking tours
Four walking tours will be available two around
the city centre and two to/from West Cambridge.
The tours vary in length (between 30 minutes and
two hours) and you can pick these up from the
Main Welcome Desk (map location W

).
If its a nice day we particularly recommend
the walk to West Cambridge (approximately 30
minutes each way), which takes you past the
University Library and Faculty of Mathematics, as
well as a number of the Colleges.
Buses
Cambridge Open Day shuttle bus
We will be providing a free shuttle bus service
between Queens Road (The Backs) and the West
Cambridge Site (JJ Thomson Avenue). There will
also be a stop near Storeys Way, for those who
wish to visit the Faculty of Mathematics, and/or the
Colleges in this area (Churchill, Fitzwilliam, Lucy
Cavendish, St Edmunds and Murray Edwards).
The buses will run between 11.00am and 5:30pm.
There will be limited seating on each bus but
we anticipate a pick-up/set down from each
of the three stops every 10-20 minutes (trac
depending).
The last pick-up from Queens Road (to West
Cambridge) will be at 5.00pm, and the last pick-up
from the West Cambridge Site (to Queens Road)
will be at 5.30pm. Please note that the West
Cambridge Site is approximately ve minutes walk
from the Madingley Road Park & Ride site.
City services
The Uni 4 and Citi 6 bus services (operated by
Stagecoach) link the Colleges/departments
with the city centre. Information and timetables
will be available from the Main Welcome Desk
(map location W

University of Cambridge, 2013. Design by Redback Design.
The University is not a campus university the faculties/departments and Colleges are scattered
throughout the city but Cambridge isnt a large city and is easy to get around. A map of the city
centre can be found on p12-13 and a more detailed map of the University and Colleges will be
available from the Welcome Desks (map locations W B1 E1 ).
Getting around Cambridge
Cambridge is a busy city, not built with modern
trac ows in mind, and so its best to travel into the
city by public transport.
By car
For those driving to Cambridge, the roads in and
around the city centre can get congested and
parking is very limited. Therefore, we recommend
visitors arriving by car use the Park & Ride services
into the city centre.
The Park & Ride sites are shown on the map (right).
Parking is free and a return ticket to the city costs
2.60 from the ticket machine and 2.90 from the
bus driver (please bring the correct change). Buses
leave every 10 minutes and the journey normally
takes around 15 minutes, but its advised to allow
at least 30 minutes to travel into the city centre.
For more information, see the website at:
www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/parkandride/.
Alternatively, visitors from the north may want to
use the Guided Busway into the city centre
(www.thebusway.info/). Follow the signs from
the A14 for Longstanton Park & Ride.
Disabled parking is available on some University
sites for the Open Days. Please contact the
Cambridge Open Days Team in advance about
arrangements (email: cambridgeopendays@admin.
cam.ac.uk; telephone: 01223 765514). Disabled
parking is also available in the citys car parks and
on some streets. Please check in advance with
the Tourist Information Centre
(www.visitcambridge.org).
By train
Cambridge train station is approximately 20 minutes
walk from the city centre. There are a taxi rank and
bus stops in front of the main entrance and buses
run every 10-20 minutes to St Andrews Street in
the city centre (returning to the station from
Emmanuel Street).
By bus
