  St Cross College
Libraries:
The college library is a comfortable place to study or simply check e-mails. Unlike most libraries within the University St Cross appreciates that it's pleasant to read on cosy armchairs and sofas.
Computing:
There is a general computer room on-site with internet access and printers and another room in the college annexe on St Cross Road.
Sports:
The college's own sporting facilities are minimal to say the least, St Cross has only one punt and a not quite gym ('exercise room'), but does have access to Wolfson's better endowed fields and equipment.
Disabled Students:
Although there are no rooms suitable for disabled students on the main college site, the college annexe does have three specially adapted study bedrooms and there is a residential caretaker if any problems arise.
A ramp enables wheelchair users to access the college dining room and there is also a disabled toilet next to the common room.
Student Welfare:
Welfare within St Cross is good at both junior and senior level, college Sponsors look out for students personal and academic concerns. There's also a college Doctor and the usual range of elected Common Room Women's Officer, LGB rep and Welfare rep.
Parking:
There are some time restricted pay and display spaces just outside St Cross on St Giles.
University Shops:
There is a subsidised stationary shop located in the OUSU building (close to the Clarendon Centre) for cheap back to school style bargains.
University Bookshops:
Branches of Blackwells, Borders and Waterstones in the city-centre ensure that almost every book on almost every reading list is easy to purchase or order.
Banking:
There are branches of all major banks situated in Oxford city-centre and plentiful provision of ATMs. The closest cash machine is just outside St Cross on St Giles.
Transport Policy:
St Cross's location is pretty central so it's unlikely that you will ever need more than your feet or a bike to reach central city and University based amenities.
For destinations further afield Oxford is well served by coach and rail services.
Green Areas:
St Cross has a pretty little garden and is close to the University Parks if students are seeking a little green-peace outside college.
