Central

Located just minutes from the Bodleian Library,
the Mathematical Institute, and the Ashmolean Museum, St Cross offers one of the most central locations of any college in Oxford. Our setting places students at the heart of the University, with easy access to departments, libraries, and the city’s cultural life—while our peaceful, historic quads offer
space to focus and connect.
