We offer accommodation to all our Visiting Students for the whole of their time in Oxford as follows:
Students visiting for the full academic year (three terms) may stay in their room throughout, including during the Christmas and Easter vacations.
Students visiting for two terms only may stay in their room throughout, including the Easter vacation.
Students visiting for one term only must vacate at the end of Michaelmas Term.
All our rooms are spacious single study-bedrooms, connected to the University’s internet network. Furnishings include a bed, desk, chair, lamp, storage space and a washbasin.
Where will I live?
You will have a room in one of our annexes, a short walk from the main College site, where you will be housed alongside other undergraduates so that you'll quickly feel part of the Teddy Hall community. Both buildings have a common room and kitchenette facilities.
Tamesis House
Around a ten-minute walk away across Magdalen Bridge, Tamesis houses 43 second-year undergraduates and visiting students, with some ensuite rooms. There are kitchens and a common room and the building is opposite the University Sports Complex, it is also close to the lively student area of Cowley Road with the Oxford Blue Pub and Madhatters Jazz Club nearby. During the summer (July to September), it opens to the public as a hotel.
Located in East Oxford, and even closer to College and grocery shops than Tamesis House, the William R. Miller Building on Dawson Street can accommodate 55 students, all in ensuite rooms. The annexe has a spacious common room with a large TV and table tennis table, laundry room, and kitchens for every four to six rooms. On the same street are restaurants including the popular Kazbar, several pubs, and the shops and restaurants of the Cowley Road are just around the corner.
As part of your accommodation costs, you will have £425 (2025-26) to spend on meals in College, per term. Teddy Hall has an award-winning Head Chef and a reputation for some of the best college food in Oxford. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available (brunch at weekends). We encourage students to eat in College, and no refunds are available if you choose not to.
If you use up this amount you can add money to your University (Bod) card if you wish.
