Accommodation at Trinity

Undergraduate and Postgraduate rooms

However near or far you are coming to study at Trinity, we hope your accommodation here feels like home.

Trinity guarantees College accommodation for undergraduates throughout their degree. This means that you can always live with other students from Trinity, and you never have to worry about renting a room from a landlord, although you can choose to live out if you prefer.

Single accommodation is normally available for postgraduates in their first year, and often in later years. Students may also choose to live out privately if they prefer.

Trinity College has rooms for students on the main site, as well as in three off-site locations in North Oxford.

All our residential halls are registered with, and meet the standards of the Universities UK (UUK) Code of Practice for the Management of Student Housing.

You can find out more about what our student accommodation looks and feels like below.

Undergraduate Rooms

Trinity has 185 undergraduate student rooms on the main site, 107 of which are en suite. Rooms vary by bathroom facilities, size, and outlook, including quad-facing and street-facing rooms. All undergraduate rooms include Wi-Fi and fridges. A further 105 undergraduate rooms are available in off-site properties.

Take a quick tour of some of the undergraduate accommodation that is available to students at Trinity and find out more about where you could be living.

Postgraduate Rooms

Accommodation is provided on the main site for most graduates in their first year. The rest of the graduate fresher accommodation is located in the Nunnery, about 15 minutes walk (or five minutes by bus or bike) from the main college.

Graduates have their own study-bedroom and share a kitchen / dining area and a bathroom with a small group of other graduates. This is a good way to get to know other graduates when you arrive.

The Graduate Hub at the Nunnery has 33 single study-bedrooms, some en suite and some with shared bathrooms, all with access to large shared kitchens. The Nunnery also has a large common room with piano, flat-screen TV, comfy chairs; a large study area (with printers and wifi); and a gym / dance space.

Most of our postgraduate applicants don't get the chance to visit Trinity in person; if you can't come see us but wonder what your accommodation might be like in college, this video shows you the range of rooms and accommodation facilities on offer to postgraduates.

Ahead of arriving, spend a couple of minutes confirming your cover by registering with Howden for Students.

CONFIRM YOUR COVER

It’s easy to underestimate the value of your possessions – and we're not just talking about your laptop and phone. Items such as your clothes, hairdryers and other smaller gadgets, like Fitbits and watches can all add up.

At Trinity, we include insurance for all the students who live with us, by partnering with Howden, a top student insurance provider.
