Porterhouse Blue has a sequel, Grantchester Grind, also set in the fictional Cambridge college.
Scenes in some of C.P. Snow's books, and the whole of one of them, The Masters, are set in Cambridge.
I seem to remember that An Unsuitable Job For a Woman by P.D. James is set there.
There's A Fellow of Trinity by Alan St Aubyn, which I have heard of but, unlike the others in this list, not read.
At least one of the early chapters of Fred Hoyle's The Black Cloud is set there.
And the opening chapters of She by H. Rider Haggard are set in "a certain University, which for the purposes of this history we will call Cambridge".
There are doubtless others, but Oxford still probably still has the marmalade. Sorry, I mean the majority.
What might be harder to find is a non-university-related book set in Cambridge.
