Dear Clare College, Cambridge,
I would like to make the following Freedom of Information request:
Please can you supply me with figures for the latest five academic years on the average cost of accommodation for undergraduates provided by the college.
Please provide figures for the academic years 2022/23, 2021/22, 2020/21, 2019/20, 2018/19.

Yours faithfully,
