Day students
Usually between 10% and 20% of St. Clare’s students are day students. They live in Oxford or in one of the surrounding towns or villages and come to college each day.
Each day student is a member of a residential house, which they can use whenever they like and day student fees include breakfast, lunch and evening meals, seven days a week.
We also allow day students to stay over one night each week in their boarding house. This might be because there is a college activity that finishes quite late, or maybe they just want to socialise (or even study) with residential students.

It was when I called St. Clare’s “home” that I understood it had become a part of me. I will always be thankful to St. Clare’s for these two amazing years.
