Student Life

Lodging

All students participating in the Oxford Summer Program reside at Trinity College.

Trinity traces its origins to the 1280s, when Durham College occupied the present site. In 1555, the son of an Oxfordshire farmer who had become an affluent civil servant under Henry VIII bought the land and founded Trinity College. Trinity is in the geographical heart of Oxford between the Broad and Parks Road, near the Bodleian Library and Blackwell's famous bookshop. The city of Oxford is a bustling metropolis.

The historic quadrangles and gardens of Trinity are among the most picturesque in Oxford. Each student lives in a single furnished room and served a full English breakfast seven days a week and a three-course dinner five days a week in the College Hall.

Other facilities include housekeeping services with linens, towels and room care, lecture rooms, library, chapel, and laundry.

Cultural and Social Experience

Oxford University is invigorated by a tradition of sportsmanship and friendly competition.

Students participating in the Oxford Summer Program take advantage of the Trinity sports grounds for tennis, the lawn for croquet, and the Cherwell River for punting.

With London only 50 miles away and connected by train, express buses and highways, students enjoy attending the theater and exploring the city's attractions as well as visiting other British cities and historic sites.
