Oxford University plays a major role in the world's intellectual, creative and public life – a centre for debate and discovery for more than nine centuries. 38 independent colleges and six smaller halls are connected by the university's federal system; these close academic communities help foster the leading research that Oxford is known for. New technology and the creation of innovative, knowledge-led businesses are current key priorities.
The University of Oxford welcomes some of the brightest minds from across the globe every year. International students currently make up over a third of all those studying at the University, with 138 nationalities represented. There are a wide range of facilities and support services to help students settle in quickly, and many diverse and vibrant international student societies are represented at the university.
- Students do not need to look for accommodation before they arrive in Oxford as all colleges arrange rooms for first-year students. Accommodation is guaranteed for at least one further year, and some colleges can provide accommodation for all years of a course.
- Catering is provided in the college dining rooms, which can be used by any student of that college, whether they are living in the college or elsewhere. Some college rooms also have access to self-catering facilities.
- Rooms for first-year students are usually allocated randomly, so international students will be spread evenly throughout the college. Students in college accommodation are usually required to leave their rooms during the vacations.
- Colleges may be able to provide some storage facilities, or if students ask early enough and space is available, they may be able to stay during the vacation.
- Students renting rooms privately usually have use of that room for the full 12 months of their contract.
- Oxford is a small city, and all accommodation is just a few minutes on foot or by bike from other parts of the university.
