Accommodation
At St. Clare's you can choose from a variety of high quality accommodation options:

  • College house
  • Homestay, in a private home

College residential accommodation is provided in four houses specifically for adult students. You may choose a meals included residential arrangement (breakfast and dinner every day; lunches Monday to Friday) or self-catering (with access to a kitchen, although you can eat meals in College if you wish). Each house has a house manager, available to welcome students and to help you settle in. Living in a College house is a great way to make new friends, often with different cultural backgrounds. We have twin rooms (when you share with another student, usually of a different nationality), and some single rooms.

St. Clare's is committed to the benefits of residential accommodation, but reocgnises that a few students may prefer a homestay option. If this is the case, please let us know. Homestay accommodation is arranged in private homes, with breakfast and dinner eaten in the house. return to the top of the page
