Cambridge as a whole no but the college I'm most familiar with (Churchill)
feels rather campusy.

The colleges each have their own postcodes, though Name, College,
Cambridge is pretty much certain to work (unless there are two people with
the same name there), and there will be a porter to collect whatever it
is. I guess there might be a problem if you are getting a big heavy thing
which needs to be delivered to a very specific place.


I was thinking of things like laser printers and even reams of paper, where
you might want it delivered to a specific entrance/building.


The departments will have postcodes too.

Though I suspect that there are so many obstacles to the easy handling
of some loads (especially big heavy things) that providing site-specific
delivery instructions would often be a good idea, if only to avoid your
box of widgets being trapped behind the event horizon of the Botolph
Lane one-way system or impaled on a rising bollard.
