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).
Accommodation changes or moving out
of College accommodation
Please note that if you wish to move out of
College accommodation you must give us four weeks written notice. The
same notice period is required for any changes of accommodation. A charge
is made for changes or cancellations made without giving the notice period.
