All graduate rooms are single study bedrooms. Bathrooms and toilet facilities in the Weston Buildings are not en-suite, but are shared between two rooms. All graduate rooms are let on a self-catering basis. There is a kitchen in each house with ‘fridge/freezer, hob, oven and microwave but you need to bring your own kitchen utensils, posts, pans, plates and son on.

Additional days of residence are charged at a daily rate of £20.07. Temporary absences for holiday or other reasons will not attract a rebate.

Residence in college accommodation for graduates normally begins on 1 October and ends at 10am on 30 June. When you arrive at the start of Michaelmas Term, you will need to collect your room key from the Lodge either in the Weston Buildings at the Sports Ground from up to 9 pm on weekdays but no later than 3 pm at weekends, or from the main College Lodge in Holywell Street outside these hours.

The end of term

Please note that when you leave College at the end of term, you are required to hand your key back in and sign out (it is important that you do not hand your key in if you go away during the course of your occupancy period as your room will show as available for re-letting on the system). College Regulations state that if you fail to vacate and empty your room at the end of term, and have not arranged vacation residence, you will:

  • be charged the conference rate of £63.00+ per day for the days when you were not expected to be in residence
  • be charged £50 if you don't hand in your key when leaving College

...so it’s important you remember your responsibility to sign out properly and hand in your key!

Storage - unfortunately the College cannot offer storage facilities in term time or during the vacations. You are advised to ask the Accommdoation Manager about reasonably priced storage services in the city.
