Harris Manchester College has the advantage of being able to accommodate a high proportion of its members within the college. This helps to create a good college community. Most undergraduate and graduate students who wish to live in can be accommodated in single study-bedrooms. The College does not at present have any accommodation for couples or families. The majority of study-bedrooms are in the College's historic old houses and there are 27 rooms in the new buildings.
All rooms have central heating and hand basins.
There are communal pantries for students to use and a laundrette. There are two student common rooms - a 'quiet' sitting room in one of the student houses and a bar in the main building. There is also a separate television room and a computer room containing word-processing facilities for all students. Most meals are provided in the College dining hall. While you may sign guests into any meal, Monday and Wednesday are the official Guest Nights, and Dinner on those occasions is a formal meal.
