social life

The out of class activities and excursions programme lies at the heart of the St. Clare's experience. It brings together all the students at our Bardwell Centre: you will mix with students from across the world on English Language and University Foundation courses. St. Clare's is definitely not an exclusively American campus; it does not with offer just a limited or predictable social life. It's your chance to get to know other students; be energetic, or simply to relax, in good company. The programme gives you the chance to broaden your experience of the cultural life of Oxford as well as visit celebrated cities and sights in Britain and Europe.
