Accommodation

YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME

We offer a comfortable, safe and inclusive residential experience, within college residences or with one of our trusted homestay providers.

All accommodation is well-located, close to campus and Oxford city centre, or just a short bus ride away, and includes free Wi-Fi and 24-hour support.

As you walk through the college, you will hear languages from all over the world being spoken. Students from over 50 countries study with us each year. This cultural diversity creates a welcoming environment for students from all backgrounds, cultures and traditions. Global awareness is an integral part of the educational experience here at St Clare’s. We encourage students to value and respect differences as we believe learning is enhanced by a breadth of views and ideas. Our international outlook broadens perspectives and truly prepares students for further study and beyond.

All accommodation options offer unique benefits:

COLLEGE ACCOMMODATION: Make friends with other international students, become more independent, and experience different cultures in a shared living environment.
HOMESTAY: Immerse yourself in British life and culture, receive support to settle into life in Oxford, and practise your English in authentic everyday situations.
