St Clare's is a residential college so we are able to offer students the choice of living in one of our 3 houses or in a carefully selected homestay with a local host.
Residential students can choose a single room or a twin room where they share with another student. A House Manager is resident in each house. Students can make meals in their own houses or eat lunch in college from Monday to Friday.
We know that students who come to St Clare's value the opportunity to live in a college community where they can live and socialise and make friends with students from around the world.
Some students choose to live in homestay with a local host. This choice gives students the opportunity to discover a different side of living in Oxford; they eat meals with their host each day and are able to learn more about life in the UK.
Homestay includes:
- A single room with shared bathroom or
- A superior room with an ensuite bathroom
- Storage space and study space in the room
- Breakfast and evening meal seven days a week if you are in the house
- The room will be cleaned, sheets and towels changed, and if you like your clothes can be washed once a week
- You will be able to use the shared areas of the house, shared bathroom facilities and be given a key to the front door
- Your host will help you settle into life in this country and into the life of a home in Britain.
