When it comes to finding student accommodation in Oxford, you've got plenty of options. The city centre offers a plethora of student houses and apartments for large groups and smaller parties. With everything you need right on your doorstep (including Oxford University itself), you’ll get to know this beautiful city and find great transport links to take you anywhere else in the UK.

Just a ten-minute walk from the city centre, Jericho is a trendy neighbourhood that is radiating with charm and character. Or, if you’re studying at Oxford Brookes, you’ll find a range of student housing in Headington. Home to a collection of shops and a population of mostly students and graduates, there are plenty of options for student accommodation in Summertown.

Named the best place to live and work in 2019 by the Good Growth for Cities Index, Oxford combines the best of both the ancient and the modern to create a postcard perfect city. From the Bodleian Library to Oxford Castle and Oxford University’s Museum of Natural History, the city is bursting at the seams with cultural experiences for those new to the town.

If the name alone conjures images of students lounging on green spaces, rowers practising for the annual Oxbridge tournament, and tourists treading the cobbled streets and soaking up its history, you wouldn’t be wrong - but there’s a lot more to this place than meets the eye. Nowadays, Oxford is a thriving tech hub and bustling cosmopolitan town, home to a multitude of businesses – not to mention its buzzing restaurant scene.

If scenic riverside pubs and independent boutiques are your thing, you’ll feel right at home in this English city. The clubbing scene is surprisingly lively, with students flocking to Lava, Ignite and Ocean and Collins on Park End Road. For some more down to earth vibes, check out Clementine’s just off the Cowley Roundabout towards Headington.

Students seeking to keep up a fitness regime while studying in Oxford will be pleased to know the residents here are famously active. Since it’s a relatively small city, you will find it doesn’t take long to walk, jog or cycle to your destination – and the sights make it all the more enjoyable. Of course, Oxford is renowned for rowing, and during the summer months, the River Isis becomes the training ground for keen rowers.

It may not compare to London for shopping, but Oxford does have the perfect balance of high street retailers and independent shops for students to stock up on new pieces for their wardrobes. The Westgate Shopping Centre and Clarendon Shopping Centre will keep you busy if you’re in need of retail therapy post-exams, and there are plenty of cosy bookshops where you can source out all the educational materials that you’ll need for the term to come.

Students coming to the prestigious Oxford University will be spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation. Since the university is located right in the heart of the city centre, the surrounding areas make for an ideal place to settle down for the next few years. 

The grand architecture here tells of the town’s rich heritage, while local shops, supermarkets, cafés and bars keep students supplied with everything they need. If you’re looking for something a little further afield, try Jericho – the close proximity to the centre makes getting to lectures a breeze; the stylish red-brick homes ooze with charm, and the hip bars and boutiques create a bohemian feel. 

Oxford Brookes University enjoys a fast-growing reputation as one of the leading research universities in the UK. Students coming here to embark on their higher education journey won’t struggle to find somewhere impressive to call home. 

In the nearby suburb of Headington, student houses and flats ranging in size and style will make for the perfect place to settle. And, since Oxford’s bus network is one of the best in the country, you’ll never be too far from the centre of town. Just a ten minute drive from Oxford Brookes University (or the city centre in the other direction) is Summertown, where you’ll find a range of gorgeous student homes and an expansive park for keen joggers or relaxed picnics.

At UniHomes we work with a variety of local student letting agents and landlords to showcase the very best student housing Oxford has to offer. What’s more, all the student houses shown here are all-inclusive, meaning the rent price already includes electricity, gas, water, internet and TV licence - making budgeting simple!
