OUR RESIDENCES
At St Andrew’s College Cambridge, our residential accommodation is a bit different. Our residences are smaller with more of a family feel. Our smallest residence has just 8 beds and our largest has just 18. Each residence has a live in House Manager who is there to take care of our students. Watch our video below to meet one of our House Managers Adriana and learn about what she does in the residence.

Meet Ionela

This has been my first year at St Andrew’s, and I’ve loved the experience so far. It’s been amazing to work in such a supportive and friendly environment. The highlight of my time here so far has been the bonds I’ve formed with my students. It has been an amazing experience looking after students from over ten different countries and helping them to settle in and enjoy St Andrew’s College & Cambridge.
I run the Hall of Residence alongside my husband, and we always give our best to every task to ensure the welfare and happiness of the students! As someone who loves cooking, and has a young family, being a House Manager allows me the freedom to enjoy my family life, whilst at the same time exploring my passion of cooking for and caring for young people. I have previously worked in the restaurant and hospitality sector where I was trained in cooking cuisines from all the over world. I love being able to surprise my students with dishes from their own countries!
In my spare time I enjoy being with my family, reading, jogging and travelling. I have many wishes and aspirations, a few are to learn how to play a few instruments and travel to Asia and Australia.
Although I will miss my first year of students, I look forward to welcoming future cohorts of students into my Hall, and providing them with the care and individual attention that will help them flourish here at St Andrew’s.

Meet Cristina

I am an enthusiastic person with an outgoing personality and a confident approach to life. I studied Business, Technology & Education and graduated with Distinction. I pride myself in successfully communicating and building good relationships with students from different backgrounds and cultures. I am adept in assessing and understanding the unique needs of each student and ensuring that the requirements of all students are effectively aligned and fulfilled.
One of the best aspects of my job is the supportive environment of the school. Everyone shares the same vision and together create an atmosphere of support for the students and other staff. This truly creates a family environment where everybody is there for each other. It is an incredible experience to be part of such an international environment, and I love learning about the student’s different cultures and backgrounds.
No day at work is ever the same, and the diversity of the work that I do ensures that every day is interesting and challenging. I am always focused on bettering my skills, and it’s great to challenge myself to improve the quality of care that I provide for the students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading non-fiction books and running, I have done two half marathons, and in the coming years would like to attend the London Marathon!
I look forward to welcoming new students to St Andrew’s and helping them settle into their new lives here in Cambridge.

Meet Gill

I’ve been working for St Andrews for over ten years, alongside my role as House Manager, I also provide support and training for new House Managers. It is great to be able to share my experience with new members of the team and help make sure that all the Halls are run professionally and that students are looked after to the highest standards.
Before I joined St Andrew’s I was the Head Nursing Assistant at Leicester Royal Hospital. My background in healthcare has been very helpful in my current role, and I enjoy combining my professional training of caring for people with my role as House Manager. In my experience, international students benefit from the extra attention and individual care that I can provide. Helping new students settle into UK life, make friends, and embrace the opportunities that Cambridge has to offer is one of my favorite aspects of my job.
Over the course of a year I form a real attachment to my students, and it is a great privilege to be able to help them all in whatever way I can. For some students this can be as simple as making sure they’re up in the morning to get to class on time or helping them get to grips with their new timetables! Other students can find the transition to living and studying in a new country a little harder, and for those students I am always on hand to provide the emotional and practical support that they need to flourish during their time at the College.
In the rare moments that I’m not looking after students I enjoy reading. When I was younger I competed in speech and drama competitions and won many medals and trophies which I am very proud of. My other hobbies are going to the gym and walking around Cambridge. Cambridge is a fantastic city, and has many hidden treasures, it’s a real joy to be able to share my knowledge of the city with the students and help them discover everything that the city has to offer.
I love working as a house manager, watching students grow and achieve their goals and giving them the confidence to follow their dreams.

Meet Ilenuta

I’ve worked at St Andrew’s College for the last three years and enjoy the challenges that come with looking after a house full of students!
Much of my time is spent looking after the students; cooking, cleaning and laundry! It can be a tiring job, but it is important to me that the students feel at home, and that they are well looked after. I think that by providing a warm and welcoming environment my students feel supported and encouraged to embrace their studies, and their new lives in Cambridge.
I like my work as a House Manager because it gives me the opportunity to talk to different people from different backgrounds, it is interesting to learn from my students about their different countries and different cultures. St Andrew’s College is a remarkable multi-cultural community, and I feel like all my students gain a great deal from being part of such an international community at such a young age.
I would describe myself as an honest person, with a real positive outlook on life and willing to discover and try new things. This can be seen in my cooking, where my students can expect to try recipes from all round the world! One of the things I love most about my job is learning new recipes from students, especially if it is food that they miss from home!
I like to spend time with my family. Being a new mum, I love to spend time with my little boy, playing and singing with him. I also like travelling, reading and playing the mandolin. From the moment students join St Andrew’s I welcome them into my Hall and my family, and will always go the extra mile to make sure their time at St Andrew’s is a happy one!
