Ustinov College since 2003

In 2003 Ustinov College offices were based in 30 Old Elvet students had to get through two locked doors to see a member of staff. Accommodation was spread across the city - at Parson's Field, Old Elvet, Palatine House, Shincliffe Hall, Kepier House, Kepier Court Flats, and the original residences at Howlands Farm, with some horses in a field next to the Farm House as the college's closest neighbours. The House Committee represented the student voice and organised parties at one of two college bars - at Parson's Field House and Howlands Farm.
