MCR members living in college are offered residence on the basis of the “Out-of-College” plan (as opposed to the “In-College” plan offered to most undergraduates). This means that the college stipulates a residence period of 37 weeks (i.e. from the beginning of Michaelmas Term to the end of Trinity Term) and expects you to pay rent for this period. You can also extend your residence over the summer if you wish to do so.
The college has no accommodation suitable for married or cohabiting couples. Students seeking such accommodation are advised to contact the University Accommodation Office, Ewert House, Ewert Place, Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 7DD (01865 280811).
College aims to provide accommodation for the majority of first-year graduates, and also as much accommodation as possible for second- and third-year graduates (although many choose to live out). The allocation of these rooms is made by a ballot arranged by the MCR Secretary in Trinity Term. Anyone wanting College accommodation for their second or third year is required to enter their name into the ballot.

Kitchens & Communal Space
All students have access to shared kitchens. These kitchens generally contain (as a minimum) a four ring stove and oven, a microwave, a kettle, a toaster, a sink, a draining board and several cupboards. Kitchens also have fridges or fridge-freezers, with at least one shelf per person sharing. There may also be a variety of cooking equipment, pots, pans, utensils, crockery, cutlery and glassware but this very much depends on what previous residents have left.
In addition to the communal areas located in their accommodation, all MCR members are entitled to use the MCR communal facilities and common room.

Bathroom Facilities
All rooms have access to bathroom facilities. These may be en suite toilets & showers or shared per flat. Some rooms also have a sink.
Laundry
Washing machines and dryers are available at every accommodation site and our provided by Circuit (https://circuit-go.com/). Prices vary depending on what cycle you choose but a wash costs approximately £2 and a dry £1. It is worth noting that the machines will take quite a lot of washing at once. You can pay via the terminal in the laundry rooms but most students find it easier to use the Circuit Go app. You provide your own washing powder and fabric conditioner. Irons and ironing boards are also available in the laundry rooms.

Alternative Accommodation
Whole properties available to rent can be found using websites such as Rightmove and Zoopla. It is worth noting however, that renting a property may incur agency fees and will require a sizeable deposit. For those seeking rooms in shared houses, sites such as Spareroom or the OxGradHousing facebook group are ideal for finding other graduate students to live with.
