Mansfield College
About the college
Throughout its history Mansfield has worked hard to make an Oxford education available to previously under-represented groups.
The proportion of our UK students from the state sector is the highest of any college. Our small size and welcoming ethos make Mansfield a warm, informal environment where tutors and students work together to achieve academic excellence and sustain a progressive and lively community.
All undergraduate students are housed in Mansfield accommodation. Most students, including all first years, live on the main college site, with the rest in college accommodation a short cycle or walk away.
The majority of rooms on the main site are ensuite, with several large kitchens for student use. The college offers excellent food at reasonable prices in the Chapel Hall, while the Crypt café offers a more informal eating and study space. Our well-stocked libraries are open 24 hours a day, and students have access to free sports facilities.

'...a college for foodies! The food on offer daily has got to be some of the best in Oxford. There’s always at least three choices for every meal, including really diverse vegetarian options.'

Location
Mansfield occupies one of the best sites in Oxford, a short walk away from the Science Area and University libraries and close to the city centre, but in a quiet position near the University Parks.
