College
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 inlcuded" arrangement,
you will have breakfast and dinner every day and lunch from Monday to
Friday. If you are living in self-catering accommodation, you may purchase
meals whenever you wish (cash payment). If you are living in a private
home (homestay), you eat breakfast and dinner there. Lunches on Mondays
to Fridays are included in the fees, and are provided in the Bardwell
Road Centre restaurant.
