Accommodation and Campus | Merrist Wood | St Clare's, Oxford

YOUR HOME
AWAY FROM HOME

Merrist Wood Campus is set within 400 acres of beautiful Surrey countryside, offering a peaceful and spacious environment for learning, leisure, and new friendships.

The campus offers a truly unique setting with its working farm, licensed zoo, landscaped gardens, sports fields, and ancient woodland - the perfect place for outdoor activities and exploration.

Life on campus is centred around ‘Woody’s’ which is a hub for students to come together to socialise, participate in activities and enjoy a game of pool or table tennis.

The campus is located just outside Guildford, a lively town with shops, cafés, and cultural attractions. With central London just an hour away, students can enjoy the best of both worlds: the tranquillity of the countryside and the excitement of the UK’s capital city.

Accommodation

Students stay in comfortable residence buildings on campus, designed to provide both independence and support. There is separate accommodation for boys and girls, and bedrooms are arranged in flats.
