St Anthony's can offer a range of accommodation to its students. All first years and many students at other stages of their degrees can be housed on-site in single-study bedrooms (some ensuite and all with ethernet and telephone connections) and there are also a number of flats for married students in modernised Vistorian family houses with shared facilities.
St Anthony's has a nice location in residential North Oxford, a ten to fifteen minute walk from the city-centre and close to the cosy cafes and cocktail bars of Jericho.
There's very limited on-site parking, and some time restricted spaces on the Woodstock Road.
There are branches of all major UK banks in the city-centre and plentiful provision of ATMs. St Anthony's nearest cash machine is situated next to the Co-op supermarket on Walton Street.
There are three purpose-built study-bedrooms for the disabled if required in college, but access to some of the main buildings is limited.
There is a subsidised stationary shop located in the OUSU building (next to the Clarendon Centre) for cheap back to school stylee stuff.
Branches of Blackwells, Waterstones and Borders in the city-centre ensure that almost every book on almost every reading list can be easily purchased or ordered.
There is a college gym and boathouse for the successful college rowing team.
Your legs and/or a bike will enable you to reach pretty much any city or university amenities from St Anthony's although buses into town and neighbouring village Woodstock (site of Blenheim Palace) so leave from the Woodstock Road. For destinations further afield Oxford is well served by coach and rail services.
St Anthony's has its own attractive grounds, but for green-peace outside college nearby University Parks and the wild pony and cattle filled Port Meadow are nice places to walk.
St Anthony's library facilities are amongst the best in the university. Aside from the 110,000 volumes in the main library building the site is also home to the great International Relations sources of the Middle Eastern Library, the Latin American Library and the Russian and Eurasian Library.
All college rooms are wired for ethernet and a general computer room provides further access, internet, scanners and printers.
There's a college affiliated Doctor for medical problems. Sources of support within the graduate community include a Women's Officer, an LGB Rep and general Welfare Officers.
