The Worcester accommodation is some of the best in the university. Undergraduates can live in college accommodation for three years of their degree, either within the college grounds or less than 300 meters from it. There’s a massive range of different rooms, so everyone’s needs can probably be accommodated. Some rooms have a mini fridge and sink access, once you’ve been assigned your room you can check what access it has by contacting accommodation at the email below.

Some rooms have access to kitchens (with ovens, freezers, hobs etc). If you don’t have the luxury of a kitchen, you will get discounted Hall prices.

For issues directly related to your college room, please email accommodation@worc.ox.ac.uk.
