Accommodation

We offer a range of accommodation options to ensure that all students – both international and local – have the best possible experience during their time in Oxford.

Find safe, comfortable accommodation in Oxford with single rooms, meals included, and supportive host families or student residence options.

Student Residence / Boarding House

Most full-time students choose one of our fantastic residential options. These are the perfect option for students who are looking for some independence: they offer single study bedrooms, all with a private bathroom, as well as communal kitchen and living areas. They are within easy walking distance of both teaching centres.

Student Residence options are available with breakfast and dinner during the summer, at Easter, and at other times of year on request. Self-Catering options are available throughout the year for over-18s, also.

Host Family

We also offer accommodation with excellent local host families. Students are placed in single rooms, and have breakfast and dinner provided each day. There is an option for friends to share a twin room, if preferred.

All host families are background checked, required to undergo regular safeguarding training, and are inspected by our Accommodation Manager at least once a year. Many have been hosting for us for more than 10 years, and all families offer a friendly, welcoming environment for students during their time in Oxford.

Our Recommendations

We highly recommend that all students of OISC take up an accommodation option offered by us, and advise students against privately renting.

We do not get involved with private rental arrangements, but if students decide to take up this option, then we recommend that they contact us for a copy of our golden rules for privately renting.
