- Accommodation Details:
- Accommodation is spacious and pleasant. The college is one of the most beautiful and you do have to take stock of where you're living sometimes otherwise you just get used to it, which is a shame. Meals are either formal or not. The latter being the most popular with the emphasis being on shovelling.
Some students are housed in a complex shared with Corpus Christi college. It's plush and has phone and internet connections.
|
- Libraries:
- There are two libraries with 100 000 books. As per usual with Oxford colleges they aren't all available for student consultation. There are also the resources of the university's Bodleian library. See main university guide for details.
|
- Computing:
- The 12 computers get well used so when its dissertation time they can be hard to get at. If you can get your own machine then do it, it will make your life soooooo much easier.
|
- Sports:
- The sports fields are very close. If you are a swimmer you're in luck as the college does well.
|
- Bars:
- There is just the one bar. The college doesn't shout about it and it doesn't appear to be fantastic.
|
- Functions:
- There are various functions held in the JCR and Undercroft. They are occasional and probably shouldn't be relied on for regular late night entertainment.
|
- Major Social Events:
- There is a big JCR ball every year at the end of the Summer term.
