RESIDENTIAL LIFE
Each student has a comfortable single study bedroom in Frewin Court, a residential annexe of Brasenose College. Situated in St Michael's Street, next to the historic Oxford Union, the world-famous student debating club, it provides a peaceful and pleasant residential base, with rooms built around a central grassy area. It is safe and secure, whilst being within yards of the centre of the city. As well as student rooms, there is a pleasant common room area, with TV and games for evening leisure time.
Breakfast is taken each day, and dinner during the week in Brasenose College, just a short walk away. On one day each week, dinner is taken as part of the mid-week visit, in Woodstock, Stratford, Warwick or London, giving an additional variety to students' experience. Students make their own arrangements for lunch, and for dinner at weekends, with residential deans organising optional group outings to local restaurants. There are a number of affordable cafes and restaurants in the centre of Oxford, literally within yards of Frewin Court, and a list of good choices is given to students upon arrival, including both internationally-known names and local favourites.
Supervision of residential life is in the hands of our deans, who live alongside students and keep a careful eye on their welfare and safety, ensuring the smooth and harmonious organization of the residential aspects of the course. Our deans are all British university graduates, with several years experience of working with young people in this capacity. Students invariably strike up positive working relationships with the deans, who encourage and expect them to behave in a responsible way to ensure the well-being of the group and play their part in forming a harmonious community. To this end, all students are expected to be back in the residence by a stipulated time each evening.
