Local information

Accommodation

Students will be provided with single en-suite accommodation on campus from Sunday 13 July until Friday 25 July. Check in 3pm-10pm at East accommodation centre.

Directions

Campus map

Bus U1 goes from the train station to the campus. The main bus stop (arrivals square) is close to the accommodation.

It is about a 40 minute walk from the station to campus (steep uphill in parts). The most convenient pedestrian entrance to the campus (reasonably close to the 4 West building, where the classes and talks take place) is at the intersection by the building labelled “The Woodlands” on the campus map.

Meals

All meals will be provided, starting with dinner on Sunday 13 July and ending with lunch on Friday 25 July, except for some meals at the weekend.

Breakfast

Served daily 7.30-9.00 at the Lime Tree.

Lunch

  • 14, 22 July: Buffet in 4W Atrium
  • 15-18, 21, 23-35 July: You will be issued with vouchers that you can use in a variety of outlets on campus.
    • The Lime Tree: Hot dishes, pizzas, pasta and salad bar/deli. Can get very busy.
    • The Pavillion (in 10E lower ground floor): Some hot dishes and ciabattas
    • The Sports cafe (in the Sports Training Village): Hot dishes similar to those at Lime Tree, but portion sizes suspected to be larger to cater for athletes
    • 4W cafe (in level 2 4W): Some hot dishes, sandwiches and salads
    • The Market: shop at the Student Union that has some groceries
  • 19 July: We will bring a packed lunch on the excursion to Avebury

Dinner

  • 13-15, 17, 21-23 July: We have a separate counter service at the Lime Tree with a few different meal options (no need to use vouchers)
  • 16 July: Pizza and boardgames in the Claerton rooms (level 3 in 2E)
  • 24 July: Conference dinner

For dinner on 18-19 July and lunch on 20 July we have not organised any group meals, as we expect that many of you will make your own programmes at the weekend. If you are staying around on campus, then you can use vouchers at the Lime Tree.

The campus includes a Fresh shop that provides additional food and essentials (but the lunch vouchers are not valid there).
