Oxford: accommodation

Accommodation options for students in Oxford

Homestay

Live as part of an English-speaking household. You'll have your own bedroom (or share with a student from another nationality if you choose a twin room) and eat breakfast and evening meals with your hosts.

It's a great chance to meet native Oxford residents and share their way of life. Living with English-speakers also means that you will never stop learning and improving your fluency.

All Embassy Oxford Homestays are a maximum of 45 minutes away by public transport, and most are around 20 minutes or closer. Cycling is also a good option in this very bike-friendly town.

Oxford is a historic city, and many different styles of architecture are found here. Houses range from modern detached or semi-detached properties with gardens, to older terraced houses with small or no gardens, to large and luxurious homes with impressive gardens.

Student residences

For students who would like more independence, and a chance to socialise with friends from around the world.

In Oxford, there is a our main student residence is situated only a few minutes' walk from the school (Blue Boar residence). We occasionally use a second student residence which has single rooms and is a 25 minute bus ride from town.

Both residences are self-catering, with shared kitchens, and all have internet access throughout. All have laundry facilities.

Blue Boar
There is a mixture of shared and single rooms with private bathrooms, plus a common room with a TV. Download a photobook showing the Blue Boar residence
