The accommodation in Downing college of Cambridge

I was also just accepted by Downing, I'd love to know more about this too. The website states that some rooms are en suite but there isn't a lot of information regarding the features of each 'band'.

yessss so i really want to know how the room of each band looks like so that i can make the choice...

Just to check, have you actually received an email from Downing? I can see that I've been accepted on the self-service /application portal but I haven't received any communications from them yet.

Hi, daughter started Downing in Sept and is genuinely having the time of her life, work is hard but she adores Downing, congrats to you all! So she applied for the top Band 1-3 (you can’t ask for a specific band just a group) which is the most expensive and goes up to £217 a week. She was allocated band 1 in Howard Lodge which is where a lot of freshers are. She has a huge double bed ensuite but a tiny kitchen. Her friends are mainly in Kenny A and Griphon and they have big rooms but actually better kitchen space, unfortunately there’s no way to specify which hall you prefer.

All rooms are pretty great in downing you won’t be disappointed so wouldn’t worry too much just pick the band you can afford, and after a few weeks you’ll be good friends with all the freshers (advantage of college system) and you can hang out and cook in their kitchens if you don’t want to go to slops (dinner). Wishing you all the best next year
