Location

The College is located in North Oxford on Banbury Road. New student accommodation onsite offers easy access to the city centre, and University departments and facilities.

The three buildings that house Kellogg College and its centres are Victorian, and quite distinct in character from some other 13th - 16th century Oxford colleges. The interiors were recently renovated when the college moved into them a few years ago. The new dining hall, with chairs and cutlery bearing the college monogram, a stylish bar and a common room featuring cozy furniture and a large television provide ample space for students to meet, network and socialise.

Accommodation

Kellogg College has arguably the best accommodation facilities of any college in Oxford. Three Victorian mansions in the picturesque Norham Gardens house many graduate students of the college, and are beautiful establishments with lawns, top notch fixtures and facilities and great ease of access.

Social Spaces

As well as the facilities in college students have access to a punt at the Cherwell boathouse and all the facilties of the Oxford University Club.

Library and Computing

Kellogg students have access to all the library and computing facilities in the University of Oxford including the Bodleian, Radcliffe Camera and Oxford University Computing Services.

Welfare

Very strong at looking after students/alumni.

Atmosphere

Kellogg is one of Oxford's largest and most international graduate colleges, growing really fast. One of the friendliest and most inclusive of the Oxford colleges with a diverse range of students and they understand if you need to be flexible, it was the first college in Oxford to take part- time students. Without a large residential poulation on site is a Mon-Fri place at the moment, but that is changing.

Kellogg has students of all ages and backgrounds and you can study in a traditional mode or more flexibly part-time, online and in your workplace. Most of the students already have jobs and careers. College lunches and dinners are an ideal place to network and make connections with professionals in industry, academia and the public sector.

Some of the brightest of Oxford's lot end up here. It is a graduate college, so the atmosphere tends to remain grown-up and intelligent.

It is the newest college in the university, so the facilities are pretty polished and top notch. Plus, it has been undergoing renovations in the past couple of years. So everything is, well, new and shiny.

Interesting events like Cook Offs and fashion shows, so life is never dull

Situated in North Oxford (Popularly called 'Jericho'), which is widely considered the most fashionable area of Oxford

Close to some of Oxfordshire's best cafes, boutiques and stores. Don't be surprised to see trendy Kellogg students.

Great food, compared to most Oxford Colleges

Relaxed atmosphere

Diverse research centres.
