Accommodation

The college owns several 2 and 3-bedroom houses on Observatory Street bordering the main college site, which are let to student couples and families. They have small back gardens, most of which have access directly into the college grounds. The college also owns a block of flats, Rewley Abbey Court, close to the Saïd Business School, which includes a number of 2-bedroomed flats that may be suitable for couples with a baby or small child.

All students may have up to two years in college accommodation (subject to availability). On occasions, it may be possible to extend this if you have young children living with you. All requests to extend beyond 2 years should be made to the Accommodation Manager. We cannot guarantee an extension, but will help where possible, being fair to all students.

In case you wish to investigate further accommodation options for couples and families, the University offers 1, 2 and 3-bedroom flats in Graduate Accommodation in several sites across Oxford. Applying early is recommended to increase your chances of getting accommodation in your prioritised location.

College accommodation is fully furnished with basic items. Bear in mind that each house has different levels of storage and furniture configuration/decoration.

Houses do not include items specific to babies and children (cots/cribs, bed rails, stools, high chairs, etc). The exception is safety gates, which can be provided on request (contact the Accommodation Manager).
