About Jesus College, Oxford University

Oxford University is comprised of 39 colleges. Jesus College will be our home in Oxford. For the first two weeks you will be living in a residence hall at the main site of Jesus College in the heart of Oxford. You will have a single room with shared hall bath and a full cooked breakfast each morning for these first two weeks. During our final three weeks, you will experience Oxford student apartment living at Stephen's Close (a Jesus College residence which is a 15 minute walk from the main site). While in Stephen's Close, you will have a private room in a three-bedroom flat which includes all towels and bed linens, shared bath, full kitchen and laundry facilities. Rooms on both the Main site and Stephen's Close are cleaned weekdays by college staff. Each bedroom has Internet capability for the full five weeks.

Classes will be held on campus Monday through Thursday, and included meals (12 breakfasts and 5 dinners) will be served in the 16th century Jesus College dining hall. Our three course dinners are served by dining hall staff. They consist of an appetizer such as a soup or salad, a main course and a "pudding" (dessert). A welcome dinner and reception will be held in the Hall on July 5 in addition to the weekly Wednesday night dinners in hall.

The university town has cricket and soccer fields, paths for walking along the river and a modern gym that you can join on an individual pay basis. The town of Oxford is perfect for long walks, runs, biking, shopping, dining and exploring. When you need a break from your studies, you can walk to a movie, a play or one of the many concerts in this incredible cultural city. The bus and train linking you to London, Scotland, Wales and the entire UK are only blocks away. London is two hours away by bus and one hour by train.

Jesus College is a walled campus with 24 hour security, maintained by a crew of experienced porters. While at Oxford, the ER facilities of the University Medical Center will be available to our students for any emergency medical care.
