I got some news today that I should be a bit bummed about. I'll be paying slightly more for my accommodations while I'm in Cambridge because the room I had originally been assigned has 'Maintenance issues' and won't be ready for me to move into once I've finished my week-long sampler of the English countryside.
That being said, I'm ecstatic. The room I'll be in is in a 'hostel', one of the thirty or so off-campus rooms for single students administered by Churchill College. It's in an old house which has been remodeled a short walk from the College. I'll have a bunch of housemates (based on room numbers, I think at least two of them are in my program) and better cooking facilities. Also, I'll have more luck practicing music in my room (less noise restrictions during the day) and the room is advertised as 'spacious'--all the better for you if you decide to visit!
t-11 days!

Edit 31 Aug 2009: Correspondence with a future housemate revealed the following great news: the kitchen's fully equipped (replete with electric tea kettle and bread pans) and the rooms are yellow, not dormitory white, with provided checkered curtains!
