For Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, most first-year students stay in the student villages like East Road, Trinity Hall, or Newmarket Road.

Closest to practice/music rooms: East Road halls are probably the most convenient for music practice, as they’re near the main campus buildings where practice rooms are located.

Facilities: Most en-suite options have shared kitchens and common areas. Some newer blocks even have music-friendly policies, but you might want to check if there are any restrictions on drums specifically.


Tips: If you’re bringing a drum kit, you could consider digital drums to avoid noise complaints. Also, reach out to the ARU student accommodation office—they sometimes offer guidance on quieter buildings or rooms suitable for musicians.

Hope that helps! If anyone else has lived there as a music student, their input would be great too.
