Accommodation for Postgraduates
St Edmund Hall aims to offer college accommodation to most new graduate students who are in their first year of graduate study. Accommodation is allocated on a first come, first served basis as soon as all conditions of a graduate offer are met.
Where will I live?
Our graduate accommodation is located at our Norham St Edmund (NSE) site at Norham Gardens and 2 Crick Road, North Oxford, and in East Oxford.
Norham St Edmund (NSE)
NSE is made up of several Victorian houses in Norham Gardens, North Oxford, around twenty minutes’ walk from College across the University Parks. Recently refurbished, 24 and 26 Norham Gardens house postgraduates in single study rooms and double study room flats.
2 Crick Road
2 Crick Road is a Victorian villa situated in North Oxford, around twenty minutes’ walk from College across the University Parks. It offers graduate students single study rooms with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities.
East Oxford
We have a number of terraced houses in East Oxford, located between the Iffley and Cowley Roads:
Accommodation for couples
In addition to our single-study rooms, the College has a limited number of furnished one-bedroom flats at 26 Norham Gardens. These flats are fully equipped with a double bed, desk and chair, small dinner table and two chairs, sofa, toaster, kettle, vacuum cleaner, microwave, and a built-in wardrobe. These flats are regrettably not suitable for students with families.
Accommodation for students with children
Regrettably, the College does not own any accommodation suitable for housing babies and children. Please contact the Accommodation Manager to discuss your accommodation needs.
Finance and duration of accommodation contracts
All students will be sent a Licence Agreement to complete which gives you a choice of staying during term time for 39 continuous weeks. Accommodation fees are added to your battels statement (i.e. your college bill) for each term and are payable by the Friday of 1st Week of term. Visit the Postgraduate Finance page for more information about accommodation expenses.
Meals in College
All students living in St Edmund Hall accommodation will automatically be charged for a minimum number of meals, even if you choose not to eat them. For all rooms in NSE, this will be 24 dinners each term.
Pets
Students are not permitted to keep pets on College property. If you have an assistance animal, please refer to the University’s policy on assistance animals in the first instance.
