What's it like at St Hugh's College, Oxford

Hiya! I just received an offer from St Hugh's (yay!), but I've been told that because it's so far away from the other colleges, the social life and chance to meet new people is not as good. Is this true?

oh hey!!!I just got the offer from st hughs too! bio major haha

“So far away” is a stretch. I timed myself walking from the end of Cornmarket Street (centre of Oxford) this morning and it took me 15 mins, so by bike it would be about 5.

I think it's also really close to a slightly different part of oxford called Summertown. There are some cool restaurants, bookstores and cafés as well as a few supermarkets I think? (Also an offer holder - for english and classics)

oh yayyy hopefully i'll get to see you there next year!! do you know if they have offer holder says or something cos i dont know a thing about st hughs

was wondering this too- sadly don't think so

Travel within Oxford is easy. You can walk, cycle, or bus around the city. It's not a huge place, and living a bit out of the centre, as many students will in their second or third years, is fine. You can see a bit of the non gown bits of the town. Getting a (basic, non flashy) bike is a good idea. You may be able to buy a second hand bike from a college porter (That used to be a thing. I don't know if it still is).
Summertown is a pleasant part of town, funky Jericho is not far from St Hugh's, and the college is also well located for access to some of the pretty country pubs just outside the city.
I was at Wadham, but walked or biked to St Hugh's for some tutorials in my third year. It took no time. I recall that my tutor at St Hugh's had a pleasant room, where we sat and talked about the eighteenth century. He was a Junior Research Fellow at the time. He has recently retired from a Professorship at Cambridge. I feel old!
Have fun at Stew's!

yayyyy😆hope to meet you there! but the offer holder says im also not quite sure about that🥲 have you seen any thing like that here> maybe?

I just received an offer from St Hugh's (yay!), does anyone have any advice or tips? I don't know much about St Hugh's so any info will be super useful! Thanks : )

likewise! we had a virtual offer holder morning but didn't really get much out of it tbh. perhaps I'll go over summer to visit and get to know the area a bit
