In the early seventeenth century the Garden Quad was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and later additions, including one of the largest and most beautiful of the Oxford college gardens, make Trinity College a truly handsome residence. Its surrounding walls enhance its tranquility and privacy, while the college gates open on to Broad Street, one of Oxford's busiest streets. Bookstores, coffee shops and news agents are all nearby, and the city's commercial center, including a covered market, is a short walk from the College. Accommodations Students have the option of modern single rooms or traditional double suites that include private bedrooms and large sitting rooms. Many older rooms have window seats, high ceilings and wood paneling.
All rooms have a refrigerator, wash basin, telephone and computer port.
Bathrooms and showers are shared. Bed linen and towels are provided for Seminar participants, and a full laundry room with washers, dryers, irons and ironing boards, is available to them. Board includes a hearty English breakfast seven days a week and dinner on Sunday through Thursday evenings. Lunches are available, cafeteria style, Monday through Friday, for a nominal fee. On Saturday, breakfast is the only meal provided, leaving students free to eat out, an arrangement that encourages, but by no means requires, weekend travel.
