Accommodation

Linacre is usually able to offer accommodation to all new students, for at least their first year of study in Oxford.

The college has a number of single rooms and limited double rooms or flats. There are two self-contained flats suited to small families. A small number of single rooms have been adapted for mobility-impaired residents. The majority of student rooms are provided in buildings which include the use of communal kitchens with laundry facilities and shower rooms. A selection of rooms on the main college site and in the off-site properties benefit from en-suite facilities.

Linacre has two guest rooms on the main site which can be booked by students on a ‘first come, first served’ basis and two student rooms located in a property on the Iffley Road for shorter term (one week to one month) academic visits to Oxford.
