Hi,
I have an interview at Cambridge tomorrow for Computer Science.
It may seem like a weird question, but what should I bring with me? Do I need to bring my own paper, pens, ruler, etc. or will they have them there?
Thanks.

I'd bring some in case...I doubt you'll need it but one of my friends said they didn't give her any but expected her to write stuff down as working out

I'd recommend printing out a copy of your UCAS and your SAQ and refreshing yourself about what you wrote. Bring a pen/pencil and a notepad just in case you think of something... but it's likely they will ask you to leave everything outside the interview / CSAT.
Good luck!
PS. I'm moving this to the University of Cambridge

In addition to ageshallnot's recommendation of warm clothes I'd finesse that to say layers. Cambridge can be cold, interview rooms can be warm... and I think the forecast tomorrow is for rain. So you'll have the full gamut!

Although you probably won't (be allowed to) use it, perhaps bring your calculator in case? I doubt you'd need a ruler or anything more specialist than that though, and I imagine they'd provide it if so or would have told you well in advance to bring it.

For the CSAT - Your normal pencil case minus a calculator, personally would definitely recommend a pencil and rubber so that you are able to do rough work without having to constantly ask for more paper
I'd also recommend something to do while waiting around, as I had a good few hours gap in between my interviews. This could be a book, some homework or whatever, although don't expect to be able to be highly productive.
Maybe you want to bring lunch, but you may prefer to go somewhere exciting in the centre of town or get a meal at College, then you don't have to
