Accommodation
All first-year graduate students are guaranteed college accommodation if they would like it, except for those who have already had accommodation as a graduate student in Oxford.
The college has almost always been able to accommodate returning graduates in recent years, though this is not guaranteed.
Main College Site
A number of graduates are housed on the main College site, as well as in the adjacent Island Site, located in Oxford city centre.
The main site also hosts the College Dining Hall where meals are served 3 times a day, along with the College gym and MCR rooms.
Rectory Road Site
The majority of graduates are housed in purpose built student accommodation on the College’s annexe site, Rectory Road.
Here students have ensuite bathrooms, shared kitchen facilities with around 6 other students and have full use of the on-site gym, squash court and common room.
Rectory Road is located around a 15 minute walk or 5 minute cycle from the main College site on the famous Cowley Road.
A bustling street famous for its fantastic range of restaurants, it has a prominent music scene and is a great place to be in Oxford.
