Cost of undergraduate college accommodation

The request was successful.

Dear Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge,

Please can you tell me the cost (per week, per term and per annum) of each type of room the college offers to undergraduate students? I am seeking rent prices for the 2013/2014 academic year.

I would also like to know of any compulsory charges for
undergraduates staying in any college accommodation. (e.g. catering expenses, JCR membership etc.)

I would like this information in electronic form. If you require further clarification, please let me know.

Yours faithfully,

David Hutchison

I am responding on behalf of Lucy Cavendish College as follows:

Lucy Cavendish College does not charge a different rate for undergraduates
compared with graduate students, the cost of accommodation depends on the
type of accommodation occupied. A breakdown of the different bands of
accommodation is available at this link

and should be read in conjunction with the table on rent bands for
2013-14, below:
