College Residential Accommodation
St. Clare's is able to offer comfortable and high quality College residential accommodation to a high proportion of students. This gives us the opportunity of ensuring that there is a good balance of nationalities within the accommodation, including native speakers of English.

All houses have a resident house manager, a senior resident (in the case of some smaller self-catering houses), or a member of staff on duty each night. There are some house rules which are intended to protect the privacy, security and welfare of all residents. You have your own key and there are no restrictions on when you return to the house in the evening. However, please note that overnight visitors are not permitted.

Most houses are mixed, male and female. Most have a comfortable common room. Bed linen and towels are provided, and rooms are cleaned each week day. Some houses have coin-operated washing machines and dryers for personal laundry. Otherwise you can use a launderette at the Banbury Road campus, or one near the Bardwell Road Centre.

Please note that all College residential accommodation is non-smoking

The College has a variety of residential properties, mostly in north Oxford. Houses are a short walk (up to ten minutes) or a short (5-15) minutes bus ride from the Bardwell Road Centre.

Most superior accommodation is in Logan House, a purpose-built block of high quality apartments opened in 1996. Logan House is about 2.5 km from the Bardwell Road Centre (25 minutes' walk; a few minutes by bus or cycle). Other superior accommodation is closer to the Bardwell Road Centre.

Most standard, self-catering accommodation is in Hampden Manor, a 17th century manor house 15 minutes by bus from the Bardwell Road Centre. A bus pass (included in the fees) is provided for students accommodated in Hampden Manor. Standard accommodation with meals included is closer to the Bardwell Road Centre.

Meals
Breakfast and dinner are served every day in the restaurant at the Bardwell Road Centre. Lunch is served on weekdays (Monday to Friday). There is a choice of hot and cold food, including vegetarian options. Drinks and snacks are also served at meal times, and during breaks.

You may, if you wish, eat lunch or dinner in the dining room or Sugar House café/bar at the Banbury Road campus. If you opt for the "meals included" arrangement, you will have breakfast and dinner every day and lunch from Monday to Friday. Lunches on Mondays to Fridays are provided in the Bardwell Road Centre restaurant. If you are living in self-catering accommodation, you may purchase meals in college (cash payment).
