Access to Facilities Charge (paid by all students but included in the rent of those living in our accommodation) is £205.65 annually, £68.55 per term. The Access to Facilities charge is payable by all members of Univ. It is part of the rent for those who live in our accommodation and a separate charge for those that live out. The charge allows all junior members to benefit from subsidised meals in the buttery and hall, access to sports facilities both in the College and the University, use of the common rooms and other non-academic facilities within the college.

A limited number of couples and family flats are available at our site on Staverton Road, which has easy access to good shops, cafes and pubs in Summertown. The main College site can be easily reached by bike, bus or on foot.

Once we have received confirmation from the Academic Office that you have met your University and College conditions then you will be added to the room list for 2022/2023. You will then be sent an Accommodation Contract to sign, which we call a Long Contract. We aim to send the Long Contract to you within 4 weeks of you having met your conditions.

Most bedrooms have a single bed and share a bathroom/shower with approximately 3 – 5 other students. Please bring with you your own bed linen (we supply a mattress protector), or you can purchase a bedding pack from the Domestic Bursary – E: accommodation@univ.ox.ac.uk – which will be left in your allocated room on arrival. These do need to be pre-ordered and the cost is £45 per pack, this charge will be added to your college account. Packs include a single duvet, duvet cover, pillow, pillow case and fitted bed sheet.

For undergraduates, shared kitchens for self-catering are available in many of our North Oxford site rooms. Our Goodhart building has recently added kitchens which are modern in design and energy efficient.

Every Graduate house has a shared kitchen so you can self-cater if preferred.

You will need to bring your own pots and pans, and cooking equipment or purchase them in Oxford when you arrive. We expect all kitchens to be kept clean and tidy, respecting all users.

At Univ we have a fantastic team of scouts who work hard to keep the College clean and tidy at all times. They will clean all communal areas Monday – Friday including shared bathrooms/showers and kitchens.

The scouts won’t do your washing up, but will ensure cleanliness for all users. Each house has a dedicated scout. They normally come in to bedrooms once every few weeks to vacuum and clean sinks. This will be agreed with you within your first week by your scout. Some students prefer to clean their own room which is fine.

We have a fully-equipped, self-service laundry in the basement of Staircase 11 on the main College site, as well as equivalent facilities in other College sites. You can do all your own washing and ironing here. Payment is by contactless debit/credit card or by Apple/Android Pay.

We have a block insurance policy through Endsleigh for most personal belongings for Univ students in college properties.

Current students can find further details under “Student Insurance” on our Intranet.
