Location

Accommodation

New accommodation is excellent eg my room last year: double bed, en suite, sofa, 2 arm chairs, huge desk, internet access and cleaner once a week. New is TERRIBLE for food there is NO COOKING facilities for first years, only allowed a fridge and kettle in your room.

Grads and 4th year undergrads are housed together. The two main sites are:

The Sacher building

• a 60s building in college which was refurbished after a fire and is therefore quite nice
• also houses the MCR, which has a TV, a bar and a tendency to supply free food (e.g. free brunch on Sunday morning, free tea and cakes on Saturday afternoon)
• has a computer room

Weston Buildings

• by the college sports ground (a few minutes' walk from the main college site)
• you live in really nice houses in small groups; better than the Sacher building

Social Spaces

College life is as social as you make it, quiet places if u need to study but a bar and jcr and lawns to chill out on in the summer.
